Ralph Hunt's 92nd Birthday

13 January 2015

Today is my father's 92nd birthday. He was not religious, so I will extend to him retrospective thanks and deeply respectful memories. 

Ralph Edwin Hunt was a reserved man who spoke when he knew he had well-formed thoughts to share. On that count, I don't believe he ever failed. I remember only wisdom, and it was not infrequent. 

I don't remember him ever saying anything that was even slightly wrong.
