Does anybody here remember Ruby?

She was an amazing person, one of the finest that I've met through fencing.

Are there any events/awards named after her in memoriam?

I recall there is a Vets Womens Sabre award presented at Nationals.

I understand she was very active in the Metropolitan Section/Division. I only knew her from seeing her at NACs and SN.

I remember her very well, Rick. Back in the 80s I used to go up to foil competitions at the Fencers Club in New York. She was always there, running things, refereeing, generally being the force that got things done. She was a very powerful personality.

I echo the above. Ruby made the Metro division run, giving up incredible amounts of time and effort, while encouraging and promoting the sport. An example for all volunteers.
