Page 8A - Satrrday, June 4,1994 “Houston rimes-Journal Norris, from ia- Just like he had done much in the past few days, Norris forged forward, fighting every step of the way and not stopping until a little after 11 a.m. when, despite the fact he and a buddy took cover in a fox hole, he was hit by a piece of shrapnel from a German 88 artillery round. The shrapnel went through the top of his left foot and finally lodged itself in the sole of his shoe. The rest, he says it quite blurry; although he does remember that, because there were so many in juries, there was a shortage of stretchers and he had to hop about a half a mile on one foot to get to an ambulance. He has never found out what happened to his buddy and, to this day, doesn’t know if he lived or died. Repeated attempts to find him have been unsuccessful. After being initially treated in a field hospital, Norris was trans ported to England and admitted to a general hospital. At this point, he was designated 50 percent disabled and his problems were just begin ning as he continuously battled in fections and fevers of 105 degrees and higher. Because of the infections and be cause he had lost one toe and the entire ball of his foot, Norris was forced to remain in the English hospital from July until October afterwhich he was sent back to the states and admitted to Carile Hospi tal in Cleveland, Ohio. He wasn’t discharged from Carile until July 1945, one full year after his injury. At the same time he was dis charged from the hospital, he also received a host of meritorious medals as well as a honorable dis charge from the Army. He relumed home to Dayton, Ohio and took a Ragin, from 2A which will boost education areas of our county where, frankly, improvements arc warranted. And bridges can be built which will tie in our county with the overall growth patterns of the state." A former legislative assistant to U.S. Sen. Sam Nunn, Ragin serves in the community as a Certified Volunteer Mediator for the Houston County Juvenile Court System. He is an active member of the Intergovernmental Affairs Committee of the Perry Chamber of Commerce and is President of the American Cancer Society, Perry Unit. An Optimist Club member, a participant in the United Way Corporate Giving Campaign and a Coach for the Perry Recreation Department, Ragin said he enjoys every bit of the community service. "Growing up here makes the commitment to working in the community as an adult that much stronger," Ragin said. "That’s one of the reasons my family and I moved back to Houston County." "I am ready to serve on the Commission, I am willing to serve, and I am confident that I am able to serve." For more information, contact Wayne Ragin at 987-6783 or 987- 3305.
