7499 – Travels to North Korea, 1 million photos, and the history of Homer with Ray Cunningham

Ray Cunningham has been the Mayor of Homer, Illinois, since 2013. His background in historical research and his passion for organizing data is the backbone of an ongoing project to build a massive database of historical information about the village.

Ray is not only a world traveler who’s been to dozens of countries — including multiple trips to North Korea — he’s a respected photographer who has shot over 1 million photos.
