Ruby Sims

November 30, 2017
All Wisconsin

I am very thankful for the parents I had. Very thankful for the parents I had. Not everyone can say that.

Ruby: My name is Ruby Ann Sims, and I am a piano teacher, or was a piano teacher. I haven’t been doing it for a while, but I can still do it. I am just thankful for what the Lord has allowed me to do. He has always been a big part of my life. (Piano music Ruby playing in 2016 at Marla Vista Assisted Living Community in Green Bay, Wisconsin)

The Power to Transform

Stories have power. They delight, enchant, touch, teach, recall, inspire, motivate, and challenge. They help us understand. They imprint a picture on our minds. Our storytelling ability, a uniquely human trait, has been with us as long as we’ve been able to speak and listen. Not only do people love to tell stories, people love to hear stories!

That’s why we’ve partnered with Carrie Gallahan, founder of Saving Libraries. Carrie was inspired by this African proverb to start a movement to save the stories of our elders.
