Yesterday
Ruthe and I had classes together at Kentucky Southern College, sharing laughs and tears--the tears on her part as it had been a long time since she had studied biology in high school. And here she was going to college full time and taking care of home responsibilities! We saw each other over the years at KSC Reunions and I had luncheons from time to time in my home for a group of lady friends where we would play piano and remember past events. God bless her family in her loss. Connie Carlisle Polley
