I am sad for Ruth's passing. So near my Joyce's in late last year. Remembering our school days, walking Joyce to school and Ruth practicing twirling her baton. Football with W Lee, band and books. Best friends studying for tests at Sour Lake High School. Our special world in the 1950's

I am so sad to hear of Ruth's passing. I am thankful that through the Reunion Committee I had the opportunity to tell Ruth and W Lee that they were my idols and how much they meant to me. I cherish those memories. My heart is heavy for W Lee and the family. Please know you are in my thoughts and prayers. Nikki Gober Drake
