Default Ralph Jones

Back in the mid 80s a friend and I travelled about 400 miles one weekend to
look at a glider that Ralph was selling on behalf of a friend for no
financial gain to himself . We were just a pair of strangers to Ralph
from the back of gliding beyond. We sorted out the business and then
asked Ralph for a recommendation for somewhere to stay the night to which
he replied: "You're staying with us tonight - Jane is expecting you for
dinner". We had a great evening of food, drink and conversation. That
was just pure generosity of spirit.
