Personal Quote:

My father's name was Rex Reason. I am a junior, and he and his new wife and family were over in Europe. They came across a theater marquee that listed my name, which of course was also his name.

Trivia:

Attended both Hoover High and Hollhywood High Schools in the Los Angeles area. He quit high school in his senior year and enlisted in the Army from 1946 to 1948. See more »
