June 11, 1996; and
WHEREAS: As reported by Salem State college student journalist and
publicized by student communicators, these two brave men traveled all

extraordinary spirit, or his intellect or his will: and
WHEREAS: Christopher Ramsden, a veteran maker of long-distance
travels and a distinguished alumnus of Salem State college, continued
in solitude and at considerable personal risk to himself the visionary
odyssey that both men had begun together and, despite travails that
would have stopped men of lesser determination -- such as the armed
robbery of all his valuables in the lonely, windy deserts of Northern
Peru -- Mr. Ramsden finished the remaining 8, 000 miles and four months
to the tip of South America, eclipsing by no less than seven weeks the
existing record for that distance, with the blessings of his partner
back in a hospital in Massachusetts; and
WHEREAS: Wayne Ross traveled his own solitary path in hospitals for
six months as a quadriplegic athlete of the heart fighting bravely for
three hours each new painful day to regain every muscle he could from
October 1996 to March 1997, while exhibiting nothing but enthusiasm
and joy for his partners progress on the journey they had begun
together, all the while managing realistic acceptance of his own
challenges.
itNOW THEREFORE' BE IT RESOLVED: That the Salem city council express
admiration of these men of extraordinary courage, Christopher
Ramsden and Wayne N. Ross.
AND BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED: That this resolution be made a matter
of record of these proceedings, and that a suitable copy be presented
to Mr, Ramsden and to Mr. Ross as a token of our admiration for their
spirited dedication to
