Ralph Wood brilliantly taught many students at Wake Forest University and then at Baylor. I had several visits with Ralph over the years. On one occasion we were walking into a restaurant in Waco when a car full of undergraduate women yelled out to greet Professor Wood. I experienced the same affection towards Ralph while walking around campus with him.
