Bath School Disaster Victim

Ralph was the son of Albert and Nellie. He was seven years old and in the third grade. Ralph was very good in school except in numbers. A loyal friend, he wanted to stay in the second grade because one of his friends did not pass. He loved to play baseball morning and night. He even played that fateful morning before going to school. The last thing he said to his mother was, "Goodbye Mama, I'll be good." One of the last children found in the school ruins, he was among the 46 killed when a disgruntled employee bombed the school. It remains the worst attack on a school in the history of the United States.
