Subject: Bob Ralphs, Oregon Bigot Buster, dies

Bob Ralphs, founder of Oregon Bigot Busters, died of an apparent heart
attack at the home of a friend on Friday, 5 May 1995. 

A gentle and jovial man, Bob dedicated enormous time and energy to Oregon
Bigot Busters and the fight against Measure Nine there in 1992, and he
helped train Seattle's Bigot Busters in 1994.  He will be deeply missed by
all who knew him. 

A memorial service is tentatively set for this coming Tuesday evening, 7pm
at the Quaker Friends Center in Newberg, OR.  The memorial service will
include an open microphone for friends to say a few words.  His remains
will be cremated, as per his wishes.
