I'm sorry to hear of Ruth's passing. I knew her as a work and traveling companion in the 1980s and 1990s. Her accomplishments in music, as a performer and director, and her interest in the visual arts were part of what we shared. Ruth was an original, there is no doubt. I wish her daughter and son the best. She was proud of both. May Ruth now find eternal comfort.
