He enjoyed winter sports while there, but shattered his leg ice skating. He went back to Las Cruces and finished his degree in agriculture from New Mexico A&M in 1954. Grayson has worked in several professions, eventually starting an independent small domestic pump repair business. he then purchased a water conditioning company. Shortly after selling the water company, he went to work for the Federal Bureau of Prisons at the Federal Correctional Institution, La Tuna, Texas. The prison had a large herd of dairy cattle and a large farm. Grayson was assistant farm manager until the government closed the operation. He completed the remainder of his service as a correctional officer until his retirement in 1988. He was an avid Boy Scout and earned the rank of Eagle Scout.
