Thank you Ruth Cavin. I met you only three times but what a difference you made to my life. Associated Press . Newsday .

From the writers she brought to my TBR pile to the friends she made a career for, that should and would be enough. But this is a woman who found the second part of herself at retirement age and became invaluable to the community she served. I will always remember this wonderful woman and the lessons her life brings to us all.
