Please forward this to Lynn, who is doing the article on Ruth Anne Sparlin


I am writing from Port Elizabeth, South Africa.  When Brian and I came to
Houston last year,  Ruth Anne was very generous and hospitable
and took us for a drive through Houston and then to a shopping mall. She
also took us to an Art Museum and out for lunch.
We were really touched that she was prepared to take off a whole morning to
show us around.  We went home with her then for
cooldrink and met her husband, a really sweet man too. They were such a
friendly couple. We were very honoured to know her and to experience her
kindness.
She will remain in our memory of the time we spent  in Houson , Texas.

Thanks for giving us this opportunity to share

Best regards

Sharon and Brian Hayes
Port Elizabeth
