My father Ralph Albert Bury was named after his grandfather Albert Edward a Marine Engineer who sailed on the Great Lakes for over thirty years and Ralph DePalma the race car driver. When my grandfather Charles came up with this name he was more than a race fan. He was sitting in the seat next to Mr. DePalma in the first Indianapolis 500 race held in 1911.
