    Thomas was forced to drop out of high school late in his final year to take over the family's farm after his Father took sick. He took his flying lessons in London, Ont. He was able to take his first solo flight after just four hours with an instructor. Craven credits his instructor, a pilot trainer during the Second World War and later commanding officer of London's Reserve Squadron for teaching him all the right things. Ray obtained his private pilots license in 1947. Three years later, 1950 he obtained his commercial licence, and all the while, he contd working as a tobacco grower on what had now become his farm. For a few years he contd. farming and flying, doing mainly crop dusting jobs, but in time it became too much and his sister and brother -in-law started looking after the farming operations.
    His work experience was crop dusting, spraying against spruce budworms in NB, tobacco spraying, pea crop spraying and mosquito spraying in Moncton and Dorval Airport. Later he was involved in aerial seeding and fertilizing; crops such as wheat and ginseng.
