The Story of Ruth

As I was cruising through my favorite selection of blogs, I came across the amazing story of Ruth Hamilton, a 109-year-old woman who died too soon. She was truly a life-long learner and simply amazing. Just some of the highlights in her live included being married to a Major League Baseball player and being one of the first women to host a radio show.   In fact, in 1937 when she came face to face with Hitler she tried to warn the world.  She was also the first woman elected to the Legislature from New Hampshire.   These are just a few of the things that made Ruth a national treasure. However, what really interested me about Ruth was that with the purpose of passing some of her wisdom along to others, she filed dozens of video blogs on GrowingBolder.com, making her the oldest person ever to blog and the oldest person to be a member of a social network web site. At 109 she is definitely a pre-Baby Boomer, but she sets a great example for the rest of us. I hope you take some time to view Ruth’s blogs because there is so much to explore, discover and enjoy about this woman. She proves that the journey of life holds many adventures.
