Sorry to hear that he passed. As politician's go he was refreshing and I liked the guy.

My Ralph story - back about a decade ago, I had my first bout of kidney stones and had to go to Rockeyview. I didn't have to wait to long to see a doctor and they sent me for an x-ray and I was about to go in for my x-ray when a guy on a gurney was wheeled covered with a blanket and escorted by an official looking guy. Nurse apologized and said that this guy had to go first. In my head I am thinking this must be someone who survived a bad accident (the blanket) and maybe was in custody (the police looking guy) so I was happy to have my spot go to him, and honestly the pain was subsiding.

When this person was done, and I was getting my x-ray, the nurse confided in me that the person that 'bumped' me was actually Ralph Klein. This was the day after he had slipped a disk harness racing!
