It is a truly heartwarming book...We interviewed common old folks plus well-knowns such as the Prophet's sister Ramona, Sister Collen Maxwell, and more....Some of my old friends even past away after we interviewed them...They will be greatly missed...One of my favorites, however, is very much alive - 83-year-old Beth Titensor..her life is amazing just like her...I love her with all my heart. Please pass the word and get this book next spring. Best Wishes, RUTH Angie,…There are so many wonderful thoughts and stories from Hard One Wisom…that I wouldn’t know where to begin.

You only give away that you're new by telling us. Ruth: I'd love to correspond about how to get started doing some free-lance stuff. It keeps coming to the forefront of my mind as I ponder how I'd like to channel my interest and love of writing. Anxiously awaiting your return from Spain. Really well-written interview Mara.

Ruth Swaner. Ruth Swaner. That name rings a bell somewhere back in the deep, cavernous recesses of my brain. I think I may have taught her son at BYU. Ruth, if you're reading this, did you have a son at BYU during the late 80's/early 90's? A tall, handsome, red-headed chap? Great interview, Mara. Ruth sounds like someone I'd have lunch with at Maddox's Steak House any old time. Depthy, with a zest for living--sounds like my kind of gal! Ruth Swaner. Ruth Swaner. Ruth Swaner.
