Memories and Condolences
for Ruby Jefferson
April 20, 2011
I knew Ruby and Fred in summer 1964. They led a group of high school and college kids for the American Friends Service Committee. We renovated a community center and did a lot of day care. Fred and Ruby were two of the finest human beings I ever knew. I apologize to the family for not keeping in touch, and finding them only in Heaven. I remember the baby Fred. Your folks were wonderful, wonderful people. I hope you read this. I learned a TON from them.
Sincerely,
Gordon M. Strauss
