Memories

Among Nick's fondest memories of RUHS was announcing the home football games. (Had he not gone into education, he very much would have liked to have been a sports announcer.) Journalism and drama were probably his favorite classes. He served as sports editor on the High Tide and participated in several drama events, including the senior play. He also often reminisced about taking his dad's "big old black Buick" up to Hollywood to go cruising with his buddies.
(Editors note: Ramsey passed away March 26, 2000 at age 73 before he could receive this honor. Memories supplied by his wife, Roberta Parras.)
