Hi Everyone! Once a Bulldog, Always a Bulldog. So, to all you former, current, and forever Bulldog athletes, fans, and enthusiasts, you are invited to attend a short ceremony on September 22, 2004, at
3:40 P. M. to (re-)dedicate Ben Ramsey Field. The field was originally named and dedicated in September, 1952, in honor of Benjamin Sterling Ramsey, an administrator who passed away while in service to the Martinsville City Schools at that time. However, no permanent physical marker was ever placed at the field site. Now, at long last, with donations from the Class of 1952 and Ashley's Monuments, and with installation under the direction of Bill Lester and his school maintenance staff, a beautiful marker has been placed near the entrance to the field and will be dedicated on September 22. With the state-of-the-art Dan Greene Memorial Stadium at the new high school, Ben Ramsey Field was not used for a long time but has been updated to a very nice facility and now used by the eighth grade teams. I know many of you are out of town but wanted to let as many know as possible. On a personal note, I am still with the Martinsville City Schools and, as of September 1, 2004, completed 46 years. I may not make 50 since talk of merger is gaining steam. My best wishes to all of you!
Lynda Wyatt Pulliam, Class of 1958 |
