July 09, 2009
Ramsey, who grew up in Statesville and recently moved back to the city after living in Durham, lost his right leg three years ago as the result of an injury that began when he was in the U.S. Army from the mid-1970s until the early 1980s. Next week he will compete in his first National Veterans Wheelchair Games, which is put on by the U.S. Department of Veteran Affairs. The event, which is in its 29th year, will be in Spokane, Wash. Along with basketball, Ramsey will compete in air-rifle target shooting, 9-ball on the pool table, softball and shot put.
