Throughout the night Tuesday, as temperatures dipped below 30 degrees, Ken Ramaley stood outside, watching over 40 turkeys that would be the centerpieces of Thanksgiving meals for families in need.
As he tended to the simmering birds during the wee hours in the parking lot of First Baptist Church in Fort Mill, he chopped 30 pounds of onions and prepared buckets full of spice rub. He got around 30 minutes of sleep.
