I first met Ruth and her wonderful family almost 50 years ago when I lived next door with another young man. I'll never forget how this woman I had never seen called out from her window, "I'm sending dinner over to you. You can go down and get it." It was the first of many lovely meals, and conversations with Ruth, William and the rest of the family on Chestnut Street in Newark. Ruth and her family are family to us and our children and we are so grateful for being able to visit Ruth and her family many times since.
