Thanks for very for that, Heikki....well done as usual. I loved the Fantastic Four but
unfortunately lost my albums by them many years ago. RIP Ralph...
On a positive note I'm always ready to learn what Candi and Irma are up to. Crazy about
both of them!....

Thank you, Splanky!

Ralph's passing indeed left me in a sad mood. He was always very kind and helpful. And we must remember that - to be exact - he founded the Fantastic Four with his younger brother Joseph, Sweet James and William Hunter [[as stated in the article).

Best regards
Heikki
