Ralph Perk
Politician
Republican politician who was the 52nd Mayor of Cleveland Ohio from 1972 to 1972. His tenure was ridiculed by the press for its absurdity and conservatism.
He was a lawyer and served on the city council five times before venturing towards becoming mayor.
He accidentally lit his hair on fire during a convention in Cleveland and he was the butt of even more jokes when he banned the sale of Playboy in the city.
He had four sons with his wife Lucille: Thomas, Ralph Jr., Allen, and Kenneth.
He doubted he would win election for U.S. Senate after Richard Nixon's Watergate scandal.
