COUSIN RUTH SMITH ANDERSON CELEBRATES BIRTHDAY

Svitlana, Lydia and I really enjoyed visiting with cousin Ruth Anderson and her family this past Saturday. The occasion was to celebrate Ruth's 85 birthday. The celebration was well attended by many family members and friends. Ruth seemed to enjoy herself. She commented to me that the children went to too much trouble for her. I told her she deserved the party and recognition very much. Ruth's sister, Anna Johnson, of Niota, TN who will turn 88 in August, was also in attendance to help celebrate with Ruth.
