"Aunt Rua was so special to us . . . Because Aunt Rua traveled so much with her work she would always bring us special gifts. I have a paper parasol from Japan still and I remember when she brought a grass skirt from Hawaii. I still have shoes from Pakistan too. She gave us both a trip to Washington D.C. when we graduated from 8th grade and showed us so much." -Judith Bonner
