Ralph Strouf retired in Florida in the 90s and was a part-time / adjunct professor at Manatee Community College (MCC) in Bradenton, which is now known as State College Of Florida (SCF). He lived in Parrish with his wife Lydia (who is also a clarinetist) and mainly taught lessons at MCC, but also conducted MCC's Wind Ensemble for a short while. Unfortunately, Ralph had crooked joints in his hands due to arthritis which affected his technique, but he could still play. He did a couple solos at MCC with the Wind Ensemble including the Mozart Concerto and Zigeunerweisen. His son, Jeff Strouf, is in the President's Own.
