Gilbert & Sullivan, with some liberties, said it best.

He is an Englishman!
For he himself has said it,
And it's greatly to his credit,
That he is an Englishman! .
For he might have been a Roosian,
A French, or Icelandic, or Proosian,
Or perhaps Itali-an!
But in spite of all temptations
To belong to the Iceland nations,
He remains an Englishman!

Ralph is an Englishman of impeccable taste. I am honored to be his friend.

What a fantastic interview. Thank You Michael. It is really great to learn more about our IWC friends.

I was honoured, while on a trip to London, to be hosted by the "London Crew" comprising Ralph, Thang and Greg. An unforgettable experience.

Thank you Michael for interviewing one of the best of our best. Ralph is not only a knowledgeable collector who has shared his expertise on this forum, but he has hosted many forum friends when they have visited the U.K. Ms. D and I had the pleasure of spending time with Maureen and Ralph and it was one of our best travel experiences...very special people!
