These are the Ramsey ancestors of Bill, Joe, Ed, and Philip Ramsey.
We are blessed to live in the home my husband grew up in…a home with a
history. Our baby, Brooke, came home from the
hospital to a nursery that was once her grandmother’s walk-in closet, not fancy,
but certainly convenient for a nursing mother.
Joel Wardlaw Ramsey and his family
We often comment on how fortunate we were to have been born when we were and
where we were.
We grew up in homes where our parents loved each other. We were educated in good
public schools. Joe had
cousins close by who were as dear as his brothers and friends so special that
time and distance has not diminished the bond.
He went off to The Citadel with his buddy, Tommy Spann (now known as Charles
Spann, owner of 11
McDonald’s who lives in Guntersville), but after two years he left for the
University of Alabama where
he eventually graduated from Law School with his friend, Spencer Bacchus (now
U.S. congressman). There
he pledged Pi Kappa Phi and got "pinned" (syruped and feathered and taken on a
drop), engaged, and finally
married to a Tri Delt who had grown up only three blocks away. He came home to
practice law with his father

Marriage is the strictest tie of perpetual friendship, and there can be no friendship without confidence, and no confidence without integrity…" Johnson
After we married it was necessary, as part of my wifely initiation, to visit Charleston and The Citadel. I have come to share my husband’s love of the old city and especially its food. The Loralie, a restaurant he especially enjoyed when he lived in Charleston, no longer stands. But I still remember the best She Crab Soup I have ever eaten. I am working on finding that recipe. This one is close:
1 cup (8 ounces) fresh cooked crabmeat, remove cartilage and shell fragments
¼ cup unsalted butter
4 cups milk, at room temperature
¼ cup heavy cream, at room temperature
4 green onions, thinly sliced
½ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
½ teaspoon ground mace
½ teaspoon freshly ground white pepper
¼ cup dry sherry
10 ounces crab roe (may use 3 hard cooked eggs sprinkled on the bottom of the bowl before ladling in the soup)
1 teaspoon paprika for garnish
Place the crabmeat in a small bowl. Fluff the crabmeat, but do not cut, into bite size pieces.
Melt the butter in large saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in the flour forming a roux. Cook for 3 minutes but do not let it brown. Add milk and cream. Let the soup thick, whisking constantly, about four more minutes.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the crabmeat, onions, salt, mace , Worcestershire sauce and pepper until well blended. Cook, stirring often, just until the crabmeat is heated through, about one minute.
Before serving, stir in the sherry and crab roe until well blended. Serve in shallow bowls garnished with paprika.
I guess it
was inevitable, considering
the military education tradition in the family, that our son would also wind up
at The Citadel. It was his opportunity to experience the culture of Charleston,
the training of The Citadel…and for us all to get more of the best She Crab Soup
in the world!
