I will always remember what a joy Ruth was to talk to and work with when she volunteered at College of DuPage. I can still taste the lace cookies she would bring in to the office. She was such a wonderful and happy person. I miss her and Bob dearly.

So Sorry to hear of Ruth's passing. I recall the many hours we spend playing cards at her dinning room table in Glen Ellyn and the endless supply of cheese puffs that kept us going. She will be missed.
