Why do you feel the need to run Ralph down ?
Ralph was a breath of fresh air for Calgary, he was a blue collar guy with "horse sense" in a time when Calgary was BOOMING from hick town to a player in the Canadian economy. He drank beer in the Eddy with the cities senior staff (Rod) and the city labourers that had been around "for ever" ...Ralph was available, he would listen and understand everyone's views.
