By WAYNE D. KING, NH Secrets, Legends and Lore More than 50 years of breaking the rules have made Alex Ray not only a corporate icon but a New Hampshire legend. Sixteen "Common Man Family" inns, restaurants; rest areas and other welcome centers later, plus the Flying Monkey Theatre in Plymouth have allowed Ray to develop his own unique, homespun style that's still a favorite of NH folks and visitors alike. Below, Ray describes his vision for the Common Man Inn in Plymouth during the mid-years of his career. In this interview Alex shares the earlier years of his life and the colorful stories that helped to forge one of New Hampshire's most colorful characters and an extraordinary citizen and entrepreneur.
