Ruby was a wonderful cafeteria manager at Dumbarton. I remember when my 3rd grade class grew pole beans in the classroom as a science project. 5 or 6 beans matured and Ruby cooked them for us to eat at lunch he day we harvested the beans. Ruby also liked to travel with my church group, especially to PA. to see the plays and go to Kitchen Kettle Village. My condoles go out to the family.
