Hey guys...I need your help.

O.K. Here's what I need. I'm trying to help a friend out by looking for any kind of information on a former Tulane and Saints football player from the 70's by the name of Ray Hester. If anyone can get me any information on him (i.e. the years he played for New Orleans, position, if he is still alive, and if he's not, what he died from), I would greatly appreciate it. I haven't been able to find anything on him in my searches.

I found that he played linebacker for the Saints from 1971 to 1973. Played his college football at Tulane.

Mr. Naquin also was responsible for the endowment of a scholarship in the name
of Ray Hester, a former linebacker at Tulane University and with the New
Orleans Saints. Hester died of leukemia in 1977.
