MY EXTREMELY FOND MEMORIES OF BILL RUBY, FORMER OWNER OF RUBY CHEVROLET AT 51ST. & CAPITAL DRIVE ARE EVER-LASTING. IT WAS MY EXEMPLARY POLICE SERVICE THAT BROUGHT HIM TOGETHER WITH AARON COWELS, CAPTAIN OF POLICE, WHO BILL HAD AN ON-GOING RELATIONSHIP WITH. WE USED TO REFER TO BILL RUBY AS,"JAY-WALKING" BILL RUBY.
