Linda Plummer
Aunt Ruth was working in St. Louis when I first remember her. Later she moved to Evanston, IL. She would give all of her nieces and nephews a small gift for Christmas. I went to see her a time or two while she lived in Evanston. She had a nice walk-up apartment in an older building with a bell in the lobby.
