Ruth's Story
Life
my life-
I have lived now in San Diego for over 25 years.
I have four daughters, three who were born in British Columbia. The eldest was born in Kansas City, Missouri.
I have copywrite poetry. I skydive. I am a free-lance photographer. I live 10 minutes from the beach. My office is a block from the beach.
For a couple of years I was an 'extra' in Hollywood movies...thus photo of Alan Arkin and me in Profile. Also was co-owner of a deep sea fishing magazine. Small picture on fishing boat.
(Back in 1968 I moved to San Francisco. Lived in the Haight. Drank strawberry sodas with Jerry Garcia of The Grateful Dead; attended Fillmore West rock concerts. Attended Timothy Leary lectures at Berkley.)
Latest venture: Sub-contract w/Coldwell Banker taking interior pictures of multi-million dollar homes.
I have a 'day job' being a hospital staffing supervisor for hospitals in Los Angeles, Orange, San Bernardino and Riverside and San Diego counties.
I am happiest: Skydiving; weekends in Las Vegas or spending time with my grandchildren: Boys- 17, 4, 4-1/2, 3 and 4 months old. And my one 9-year-old granddaughter!
To relax I drive to Las Vegas every few weeks.
To 'get out of San Diego,' I spend time in New York City.
To return home, I come back to Oklahoma.
