A Rev. Ralph Ross lived next door to me for one year near Burnt Hills, NY, during the 1950′s. I would estimate that he is now in his late seventies or early eighties. He was then a student with a family and was about to be ordained. I am hoping that Rev. Ross, of Miami is the one I knew during the 1950′s in NY State. I also would like to get in touch with him today if he is the man I am looking for. Thank you for whatever information you can forward to me.
