## Bio
4-
Ralph Maxwell Hightower, Jr was born to Ralph Hightower Sr (Mac) and Marilyn Fox Hightower on May 23, 1954 in Bamberg, SC. Surviving are his wife, Paula Hightower, formerly Paula Lynn Lambert from Harlem, GA, sister Elizabeth Woodall living in Bamberg, SC, and brother Chester Hightower living in Aiken, SC. Although Ralph and Paula had no children, they have adopted and bred Beagles, with many as members of their household; some have competed in obedience, show confirmation, and performance (Fast CAT). He rejoins those Beagles from the past that have led the way and patiently waiting for on the other side of the Rainbow Bridge. He graduated from Bamberg-Ehrhardt High School in 1971 and the University of South Carolina with a BS degree in Computer Science in 1976.

He played tenor saxophone in the Bamberg-Ehrhardt Marching Band and Concert Band and a few years in the USC Marching Band and Concert Band and baritone sax in the jazz band.
66
He was also a DJ at WUSC-AM playing rock music; it wasn't called classic rock back then. Of note, he was on the air when then Vice President Spiro Agnew resigned.
77
He was employed by NCR for fourteen years, where he met his wife (he didn't realize that his start date of February 14, 1977 was significant), and retired from SC Department of Health and Environmental Control after fourteen years. In between, he worked for a few banks, an insurance software company, a telecom company as a contractor, and a few DOT-BOMBs (DOT-COM business failures).
