I will miss Ruth. I met Ruth at Watergate at Landmark where she edited the newsletter I helped draft. She was a meticulous editor and didn't miss a thing. We stayed friends after I left Watergate and she moved moved from Watergate. Ruth had quite a life and I enjoyed hearing about her many experiences, especially her extensive travel. I'll miss Ruth's direct delivery - I always knew exactly how she felt and her position on the issue at hand. I will miss our talks and her kindness to me.

Ruth is one of the original staff of the old Intelsat. She takes pride in doing her job well. It saddens me to hear of her death - as part of the old Intelsat I remember fondly. May she rest in peace.

Ruth was a very nice person that I know her to be a dedicated translation excepert. We often meet at conferences overseas and I enjoyed her friendly personality. My condolences
