R.A.L.F.

[Woolworth27]

Do anybody know if the R.A.L.F. club still exist? And if it don't what happened or if it does what going on now of days?

As far as I remember, R.A.L.P.H. (or R.A.L.F. as you call it) ended some time in the late 80's-early 90's. I was never involved in it, but I'm pretty sure a few members here were.

It was in existence from 1982 to 1987. The group (an acronym for the Royal Association for the Longevity and Preservation of The Honeymooners) disbanded upon Jackie Gleason's death. I attended several conventions from 1984 to 1986, dressed up as Ed Norton, with a crumpled hat and pinstripe vest. Indeed, Art Carney's son Brian once came up to me at the final Honeymooners convention at what was then the Felt Forum at Madison Square Garden in New York City in 1986 and actually said I bore an almost uncanny physical resemblance to Norton. And yes, I was a card-carrying R.A.L.P.H. member.

I still have my 1985-86 R.A.L.P.H. membership card put away in mint condition.

You guys should try to start it back up

There are several convention programs and newsletters. You can sometimes find them on ebay. One of RALPH's founders (Peter Crescenti or Bob Columbe) works as an editor for Car & Driver Magazine, last I heard.
