Ray Bodiford

Ray Bodiford (June 14, 1936 - July 12, 1989) was an American insurance agent from Selmer, Tennessee who served as a Republican member of the Tennessee House of Representatives from the 70th district (Hardin and McNairy counties and parts of Wayne, Chester and Hardeman counties) from 1973–1976. He succeeded fellow Republican (and insurance agent) Granville Hinton, and was succeeded by Republican Herman L. Wolfe, Sr.

He was a member of the Tennessee 1977 Limited Constitutional Convention.[1]

In 1980, he ran what was described as a "strong campaign" against longtime incumbent state senator and Lieutenant Governor John S. Wilder, but was unable to defeat him.[2]

Personal life

He was married to Bernice Nixon Bodiford, who is listed as his widow in her March 2005 obituary.[3] He was a member of the Churches of Christ, and a Freemason.[4][5]

gollark: Also, in that version there, patterns got fed in as a table with numeric indices from 1-9 representing each slot of the crafting table plus an optional qty key for how much the recipe produces.
gollark: Ridiculous. We *need* to be able to break maths in a snippet of code.
gollark: Here is a copy of the code I don't understand from the old version:```lualocal function descend(intermediateFn, terminalFn, i) local pattern = patterns[i] if pattern then intermediateFn(pattern) local pqty = pattern.qty -- Qty keys must be removed from the pattern for collation -- Otherwise, it shows up as a number stuck in the items needed table, which is bad. pattern.qty = nil local needs = util.collate(pattern) pattern.qty = pqty local has = {} for slot, item in pairs(pattern) do if util.satisfied(needs, has) then break end if patterns[item] then descend(intermediateFn, terminalFn, item) has[item] = (has[item] or 0) + (patterns[item].count or 1) end end else terminalFn(i) endendlocal function cost(i) local items = {} descend(function() end, function(i) table.insert(items, i) end, i) return util.collate(items)endlocal function tasks(i) local t = {} descend(function(pat) table.insert(t, pat) end, function() end, i) return tend```
gollark: Also, implementing whatever is done internally for finding free space to transfer to is hard!
gollark: I'm unlikely to have stupidly large autocrafting trees.
