The definition of a mentor: Remembering Coach Bill Ramseyer
By Greg Oliver - Guest columnist
We brought a young family to Wilmington in 1973. Taking a teaching job at Laurel Oaks allowed me plenty of time for summer work and baseball.
For five summer seasons I coached a high school-age baseball team at Galvin Park. The park was overseen by Don Harte and Bob VanPelt at that time, and when they stepped aside, Dauna Armstrong took over; all three did a terrific job.
Oh, how those summer games were so exciting … Baseball was my passion, having played a lot in high school and beyond. I guess at age 24, I thought I was Sparky Anderson, but we had good, exciting baseball despite the young coach.
