We just received this from Ryan Beasley:
We come together as a climbing community and people whose lives have been touched by Ralph, to honor and celebrate our friend.
Sunday, March 21 - Ralph's birthday. Join us at the Boone Saloon on King St. in downtown Boone for an informal gathering to toast and celebrate Ralph. We'll begin getting together between 7 and 8 P.M. If you can't be there, raise a glass at your favorite local pub or porch in Ralph's name.
Friday, March 26 - A tribute to Ralph on-screen at the Banff Mtn. Film Festival in ASU's Farthing Auditorium. Hope you have your tickets!
Saturday, March 27 - Memorial gathering for Ralph at Julian Price Park, mile marker 297.1 on the Blue Ridge Parkway at 1:00 P.M. Park near the back of the parking lot. After an opening from Burton Moomaw, anyone who wishes may tell a story or share some words about Ralph. Bring a candle.
Beer is welcome if you wish to stay and socialize/continue to share Ralph stories.
