Rick Ramseyer: "All these years later, I still remember the dread of the quarry test"
"All these years later, I still remember the dread I felt before taking the quarry test. This wasn't a written exam, and it had nothing to do with school. It was a rite of passage for any Bluffton kid who wanted to earn the right to swim in the Buckeye."
- Rick Ramseyer
