Personal Notes:
The photo is one of Ruth in her kitchen about 1968, the same year that I first met her. This pic is so typical of all women who set their hair in the 50's and 60's, including me! (Electric rollers came in a few years later.) To teens, wearing curlers during the day was a sign of an upcoming date!
