To the Editor:

On March 25, the Barnegat Light branch of the American Association of University Women lost one of our most cherished members, Ruth Reeder. As word spread throughout the membership of Ruth’s death there were expressions of both dismay and sorrow. While we were all aware of Ruth’s age of 96 we all hoped we’d have Ruth forever. Ruth was such an important part of our group with her keen intelligence, her awareness of the world around her, her love of books, and of course her generosity.
