She attended Oneonta High School where she enjoyed performing in school plays, and the Rhode Island School of Design in Providence, Rhode Island, where she continued acting and earned a degree in painting.
From 1954 to 2006, she performed a wide range of roles in more than 70 theater productions with companies such as the Dramashop at MIT's Kresge Little Theater, the Charles Playhouse in Boston, summer theaters in Boston, Bar Harbor and Livermore Falls, Maine, Edgartown Summer Theatre on Martha's Vineyard, Brandeis University Forum Theatre, Provincetown Theater on the Wharf, the Whole Theater Co., in Montclair, New Jersey, and the Forum Theater in Worcester, Massachusetts. She often created costumes for the plays she was in, as well as set decorations and publicity posters. Her 2000 performance with the New England Theatre Company as the lead in Edward Albee's "Three Tall Women" took place at Anna Maria College in Paxton, Massachusetts. Her final role was in a 2006 performance of "The Vagina Monologues" at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Worcester, Massachusetts.
During the 1960s and 1970s she also created a series of puppet shows for which she made her own puppets. In 1980, she began taking writing classes and workshops, and through subsequent decades wrote poetry, stories and personal memoirs.
Throughout her consummately creative life, she battled severe depression instigated possibly by the trauma of her mother Dorothy's suicide in 1942, two days after Ruth's 14th birthday. Much of her writing and painting explored feelings of remembrance and grief about the loss of her mother. In 1990, Ruth produced a dramatic one-act play with Blackbird Labs in Worcester, Massachusetts, about her parents' courtship and marriage, called "The Farmer Took a Wife." She also performed in the 1997 production of her play at the Stageloft in Sturbridge, Massachusetts.
Ruth continued painting and drawing all her life, using acrylics, pastels and watercolors, to create still-lives, landscapes, and surreal dream-related imagery. She passed away on April 17, 2022, just weeks before her 94th birthday. - Genevieve Allison was born in 1919 in Tacoma, Washington, USA. She was an actress, known for Brotherhood (2006).

A professor at UCLA from 1930-1967, John Caughey was one of the foremost historians of California of his time. His books include Gold is the Cornerstone, California Heritage, and Their Majesties the Mob (about vigilantism). In 1949 he defied the Regents of the University of California by refusing to sign a loyalty oath he considered unconstitutional. He was fired but eventually vindicated in court and reinstated. That experience started him on a new career as a civil rights activist. Together with his wife LaRee Caughey he worked to oppose the death penalty, nuclear testing, and especially racial discrimination. In the 1960s the couple wrote a fourth-grade textbook (California's Own History) and an 8th-grade US history textbook (Land of the Free, in collaboration with Ernest R. May and John Hope Franklin), both designed to address the need to teach children the truth about some of the less glorious aspects of our history, such as internment of Japanese-Americans and Jim Crow, as well as about the labor movement, the women's movement, and other grassroots efforts for change. Conservative organizations like the John Birch Society fought hard against these texts, but they were eventually adopted for use in the California schools.- Reggie Lewis was born on 21 November 1965 in Baltimore, Maryland, USA.
