I have just moved back to the US and was looking up information on the Internet for Harriet Ruddell and her daughter Colleen, (I lived nextdoor to them during my childhood ) Needless to say I am sad to hear Harriet passed away - She was truly someone I looked up to in so many ways. God Bless italybai@aol.com if you would like to respond
