Ruby was my supervisor at Share Computer Center 3rd Mass. Ave. N.W. DC. Ruby & I were serious lifelong fans of Washington Redskins! We proudly had bragging rights as fans especially when they won. We also loved her Strawberry Cheese cake when we had parties at work. Loved Ruby cause she was a good Supervisor who cared. May she RIHP!! Karen Jordan
