The palm tree alludes to a Wingate crest and Justice Ralph’s descent from this family, among whose members were General Sir Reginald Wingate and Major-General Orde Wingate. It also refers to his family’s second home in southern California. The balance is a symbol of justice and furthers the idea of his position as a Justice of the Peace.
