Sad to say I have not seen Ruth Ann in many years, but during the time she was the secretary (would now be administrative assistant now I believe) Ruth Ann, my husband Ray "Red and I " became very good friends. we shared many frustrating times and times of sadness and worry, but most of all we shared so many laughs. When I go down Route 37 to Benton, I always think of her when I pass where she lived. She was more than a friend; she was a good friend. So many good memories.
