Ralph was a little boy with a big imagination as big as Walter Mitty's; upon whom the character was quite likely based.
Ralph's voice was provided by Dick Beals, whose career also included Davey of Davey & Goliath, and several of the supporting characters in Roger Ramjet.
Ralph never appeared in comic books, on lunch boxes, or in any other venue.
Each time Phillips saw Geronimo as he shuffled past his house on the Pueblo road he would call - "Say - when are you going to bring in that piece of pottery for me to see?"- and Geronimo would shrug his broad shoulders and squint his eye.
Friends of Ralph's, they were urged by him to join in a swim - and Phillips - his mind again on the precious find of Geronimo's grabbed the vase from the ground.
Phillips tried to pacify him - cover his own tremendous feeling of loss - and then with shaking hands they picked up the fragments of the beautifully incised vessel.
