Body

Ralph prepared at Middlesex School and Le Rosey School in Rolle, Switzerland. At Princeton, he majored in politics, joined Key and Seal, and played soccer and fencing. He roomed with Dave Fleming, Fred Rogers, and Jack Vrooman. 

After Princeton he joined Army intelligence and served in Germany. His joy in life was the outdoors, which he found in ranching near Los Olivos, Calif., and in working as a wilderness guide in the Yukon. He then returned to his old hometown in New York, living out his life with his dear wife, Nancy, who survives him. 

Ralph died Dec. 20, 2016. He was predeceased by his twin brother, Terry ’52. The class sends Nancy condolences along with thanks for Ralph’s military service to our country.
