my husband and I got to meet Ralph . On May 15, 2010, Las Vegas had a Helldorado parade...a throwback to one of the biggest events in town, in the Golden Days of Las Vegas. We knew that the club had an entry in the parade, so we watched a little of the parade, then walked until we found the CCGTCC entry. Ralph was driving his truck with Sheldon in the back, Tony Tricoli and Jim Steffner were walking behind the truck handing out club wooden nickels. Christine was darting around, taking pictures.
We waved and introduced ourselves to Ralph and Sheldon, who invited us to get in the back of the truck and ride along!!! That's one of the coolest things that I've ever experienced in Las Vegas! I took several pictures along the route. When we reached the end of the parade I took this picture of Ralph. He had a personal chip made from the picture, which made the experience even more cool, for me!
I can't find a scan of the PC right now, but here's the picture that I took...
RIP friend...and thanks for the memories
