Ruth's List




No, I did not make a mistake and this is not Craig's sister's list, but uniquely and solely Ruth's List which is an organization of Democratic women who seek to elect in Florida a group of progressive, pro-choice women for public office. The above pictures were taken by Helen Moe, our volunteer photographer, at the first Fort Myers meeting of the group at the Palm Dinner Theater on April 3. From the looks of the food on the tables this couldn't possibly have been a dinner meeting unless everyone was on a diet. In the bottom photo are Sallie Soule, Director of our Club, seated on the left with founding President of our Club Betty Bainbridge. The center photo shows former President Mandy Johnson on the left and current President Joan Walton looking rather addlepated. In the top photo is a sign nailed to a black door which reminds me of the sign one might have seen during Prohibition Days when you knocked three times and announced "Joe sent me", but in this case, "Ruth sent me".
