September Remembrance — Honoring Our Ramsey Class of ’79 Rams
As we welcome the month of September, we also take a moment to pause, reflect, and remember the members of our Alexander Ramsey Class of 1979 family who are no longer with us. While September brings the excitement of a new school year and memories of those wonderful days at Ramsey, it also reminds us of the importance of looking back and remembering the people who helped make our high school years—and our lives—what they are today.
Every member of the Class of ’79 mattered. Every single one. Whether we were close friends, teammates, classmates, acquaintances, or perhaps never had the opportunity to know one another personally, each person was a part of our shared Ramsey story. Each classmate had their own personality, talents, friendships, accomplishments, struggles, laughter, and memories. In ways we may never fully realize, they touched the lives of others and helped shape the people and the community that became the Ramsey Class of 1979.
Some of those classmates may have been people we knew extremely well. Others may have been faces we recognized in the hallways, someone we sat beside in a classroom, someone we cheered with at a sporting event, or simply someone whose path crossed ours during those unforgettable years. But whether we knew them well or not, they were one of us. Their place in our class can never be replaced, and their memories deserve to be preserved.
As we look at our Memorial Page, we are reminded that behind every name is a person, a family, a lifetime of memories, and a story. We want to make every effort to ensure that no member of our Ramsey family is unintentionally forgotten. If you know of a Class of ’79 classmate who has passed away and whose name has not yet been included on our Memorial Page, we sincerely ask that you please contact us and share whatever information you may have. Even a name, obituary, photograph, memory, or a simple confirmation can help us make sure their story is recognized and their place in our Ramsey family is honored.
We also want to extend a heartfelt THANK YOU to all of the alumni who have reached out to us over the years with information about classmates who have passed away. Your messages, photographs, memories, and willingness to help have been incredibly meaningful. Because of your efforts, we have been able to remember and recognize more members of our class and continue building a Memorial Page that represents all of us—not just the people we happened to know personally.
Most importantly, we want every member of the Ramsey Class of ’79 to know just how much you mean to us. We may have graduated nearly five decades ago, but the connection we share has never completely disappeared. The friendships, memories, laughter, experiences, and people from those years remain a part of who we are. And when one of our Rams leaves us, we feel that loss as a class.
So this September, let us remember those who have gone before us with love, respect, gratitude, and perhaps a smile as we recall the good times we shared. Let us continue telling their stories, sharing their memories, and making sure their names remain a part of the Ramsey Class of 1979 legacy. They were—and always will be—our classmates, our Rams, and a part of our family.
To every member of our Class of ’79 who has passed away: You are remembered. You are missed. You are appreciated. And you will always have a place in the hearts and history of the Ramsey Class of 1979.
And to all of our living Rams, THANK YOU for everything you do to keep our class connected. Thank you for sharing memories, sending photographs, providing information, attending gatherings, checking the website, reaching out to old friends, and simply helping keep the spirit of the Class of ’79 alive.
Once a Ram, always a Ram.
Let’s continue to look out for one another, remember those we have lost, and make sure that not a single member of our Ramsey family is forgotten.
