Ruth at Paperback Trading Company
At first I didn’t remember that southwest had open seating, but I embraced the opportunity to pick my seat when I got on. Being in the last group to board, I knew that I would have the opportunity to pick my seat, so I looked around and found the most interesting looking, friendly looking person (with my limited options) and sat down. I knew like with most plane rides that I had to figure out my neighbors story so as the plane started moving I started talking and we didn’t stop till the wheels came out to land, 3 short hours later.
Here is the story of Ruth: The Chicago native, book store owner, cat lady, best grandmother to her only grandson, letter writer, and lady who believes love and respect to all is the way to a happy and good life.
