So sorry to hear of Ruth’s passing. I graduated from Easton H.S.N. in l946, and worked at Lafayette College’s Infirmary with Ruth and Martha Petchutka. {sp}? from l947 to 1950 when I married and moved to Philadelphia. Saw Ruth at alumni banquets frequently, and we reminisced. With deep Sorrow, Teresa Ingersoll
