My friend asked Ralph whether his presence on the squad had caused him to miss his thousandth bird. Ralph turned to him and gave him a dirty look and told him "No you didn't cause me to do anything." Ralph's wife was at the back of the field, too far away for him to throw his gun and have her catch it, so he reluctantly held onto the Beretta and walked to his truck.

I shot with Ralphie several times . Bruce Evans , Rick Lowery , John Hannon ( my 2 man team partner). And Alton Jones from the Talbot Gunclub shot with us some . All jokes aside Ralphie came across when you first met him as rather abrasive , but after you got to know him he really could be a pretty decent guy . I wonder if he and John Jisona are still above ground ?
