LeAnn R. Ralph: Hello, my name is LeAnn R. Ralph. My mothers parents and grandparents came to this country from Norway and homesteaded the farm where I grew up in Wisconsin. Before I was born, my mother saw the name LeAnn in a newspaper article and liked it, so that's why she wanted to name me LeAnn. My middle name is Rae. R-A-E. That's what the R stands for. It was my mothers way of giving me a name that was after my dad, too, who was named Roy Ralph.
