Amazing how small acts of kindness can have such an impact on a child. Dinner at your table and weekends at the cabin, left a stamp on my heart that I have never forgotten and influenced the parent I wanted to be. Thank you Irene, Stacy and Nikki....and of course Ralph.

I knew Ralph my whole life. He is one of the painter I came to admire so much. He was always generous with his knowledge and fun to be with. I am so sorry that his life ended so painfully.
