[AGL] Ralph and Susan Moore or maybe not

[Gerry]

OK Mike, I confess to my handicap...but I did see them a lot.
Ralph and I were good friends for a time which included the years when Susan
had been diagnosed with cancer and went through chemo. She was very tough
and courageous and during her brief remission left him and her sons, wanted
to live alone. Ralph was never the same after that. Last time I saw him he
was a coke fiend living in Santa Fe, an embarrassment to his family and
friends.

When I first met him (at UT when we were students) I thought he was a
socialist Latino from South America. He hung out with that group, spoke good
Spanish, looked the part. What a shock when I discovered he was from El
Paso. He could play a lot of roles.
