Loving Aunt Ruth is looking good for a spring 2014 release!
Today is Veteran's Day, and there were no prouder veterans in our family than Aunt Ruth and Uncle Bob. He was a Captain, and she drove and repaired staff cars for the Red Cross. He served in Europe, and she drove on the army base in Richmond, Virginia.
Ruth was a great driver and skilled mechanic, and she was asked to consider pilot training! Uncle Bob didn't want his sweetheart in harm's way, so she stayed grounded and kept her eyes on the road.
As far as I can remember, each of them talked about their pride of service and love of country, and I am grateful to both of them.
Thank you, Ruth and Bob. I salute you both.
