James Caruth Obituary
CARUTH, James Tracy James Tracy Caruth died in Astoria, OR on Sunday (August 14, 2005). He was born in 1913 in Hartford, the only son of Angus and Elizabeth Caruth, and brother to Bertha, Elizabeth and Mary. As a young man, he enlisted in the Army and was stationed in Texas, where he met and married Juanita Whitis. Following the Second World War, Jim and his wife settled in Dallas, where he went to work for the Department of Agriculture, graduated from Southern Methodist University, and, in his spare time, helped his wife develop the Catch-A-Drip, the original washing machine connection box. The grand passion of his later years, educational reform, led to a website, www.canwelearn.com. He is survived by a sister, Mary Arnold of Salem, NJ; two daughters, Bonnie Caruth of Kansas City, MO and Tommie Redwine of Seaview, WA; five grandchildren and a great-grandchild.
