RAY R. GREENWOOD is Prosecuting Attorney of Kitsap county.  Mr. Greenwood was
born in Washington in 1892.  He was educated in public schools, following
which he entered the University of Washington, and was admitted to the bar in
1916, the year he located in Bremerton.  In 1920 he was elected prosecuting
attorney of Kitsap County, which office he now holds.  Since Mr. Greenwood
became county prosecutor he has met with marked success in securing
convictions and he has met with marked success in securing convictions and
today his name is a terror to evildoers throughout the territory over which he
exercises jurisdiction.  In cross examination I doubt very much if Mr.
Greenwood has a superiorom western Washington.  At times he is extremely
bitter in his efforts to get at the truth, but at no time does he resort to
brow beating tactics.  If he is satisfied, from the evidence in his hands,
that a person is guilty, he leaves no stone unturned to secure a conviction.
His policy is, that, so long as laws are on the statute books they should be
enforced.  In the trial of a case he is determined, vigorous and persistent,
maintaining every right to which he believes he is entitled.  In 1917 Mr.
Greenwood was united in marriage with Miss Mollie V. Lane, and the couple have
two children, a son and a daughter.  He is a member of the Elks, Kiwanis club,
American Legion and the county and state bar associations.
