R. L. Thomas

Ralph L. Thomas (1939-2026), born in São Luís, on the edge of the Brazilian Amazon, to Baptist missionary parents, studied for two years at the University of Toronto without completing his studies. In the early sixties, he wrote a popular music column for the Toronto Star, then joined public television, for which he wrote and directed dramas based on real events; one of them, which he co-wrote, led to a defamation complaint against its broadcaster by the government of Alberta. He died of heart complications at the age of eighty-six.
