Obituaries

I had the pleasure of acting as Ruth's accountant for a number of years. Although we generally met only at what she described as "the dreaded time of year" her sense of humour always shone through. I looked forward to the visits with her as we worked through the financial matters. A woman who was in command of her business always approached the issues in a self-deprecating manner belying her capabilities. A lady to work with and to know! My sincere condolences to her family.
