It is unfortunate that Mr . Fried ’ s misinformation regarding our Ralphs ’ Market has found publication . This undermines the hard work and commitment of the employees who work to provide the best quality and service . Wanda Delgado , Laguna Beach
Ralph ’ s is a Community Meeting Place
My first disagreement with Billy Fried was his denigration of Ralph ’ s , my town square . I go there every day . I am greeted in every aisle by friends , neighbors and the staff . We laugh and joke , complain about the tourists and traffic , and congratulate ourselves on the weather and our good fortune to be here , in the crowded aisles , with our tiny carts filled with the necessities and surrounded by some of Laguna ’ s best .

Nancy Martin , Casting Director for the Pageant of the Masters , emphasized the importance of height and other measurements in selecting volunteers for this year ’ s production .
“ We are looking for people of all ages and sizes , but given this year ’ s theme , there are many roles for slender women who are between 5 ’ 1 ” to 5 ’ 5 ” and 5 ’ 8 ” to 5 ’ 10 ” tall ,” said Martin , who is celebrating her 45th year as casting director .
“ The most important measurement to me is the height , and the head size needs to be pretty close because the headpiece needs to be shared , and then shoe size ,” she added .
The March 28 open casting call will take place backstage at the Pageant of the Masters Forum Theatre , situated on the Festival of Arts grounds at 650 Laguna Canyon Road , Laguna Beach .
For those unable to attend on March 28 , private appointments for measurements can be made by contacting the Pageant ’ s casting office at 949-494-3663 . The office is open Monday through Friday , 9 a . m . to 4 p . m . Volunteers age five and above are encouraged to apply .
