It's a sad day with Ruby passing. I am going to miss her. I knew her for over 20 years and respect
her. She was a leader in the fight for women saber before the current group of world champions was born. I remenber her winning the gold medal at the Nike world master game in Portland. She was so Happy that day.

People sleep peacefully in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf.
I had not heard...This is really sad. I talk about her all the time to my students and had a great time interviewing her at Nationals last year. She was an amazing woman and very humble. The loss will be felt by many.
I ran into Ruby in Sacramento last summer (I hadn't seen her for about 20 years) and introduced her to my son.(16) Later he commented: "Dad, you know some of the most amazing people."
