I don’t think I can remember my first encounter with Ruth but i do know it goes back a long time. I remember coming up with this idea of meeting her last summer when I was in Chicago and missed this opportunity. Lo and behold, I was fortunate enough to have another trip to Chicago and to meet Ruth.

I knew she was going to be late to the meetup. Her saved seat was strategically placed across from me =) Having her at the meetup made it complete.
