Sarah and Linda and the rest of the family I am so sorry for your loss. I had Ralph in school and can still remember the fun semester he made Drivers Ed along with my friend Diana. He called us the "Party animals" because we were always having parties in Mrs. Vance's class and when we had one for Christmas in his room he got Diana and I to tell him what we needed...lol I have also worked with both Sarah and Linda as a teacher as well. I was very sad to heard this. Ralph was one of my favorite teacher's I had at Wayne High School.
