Blandine Broomfield wrote a sympathy message

“Miss Ruddle was a treasure. Every morning when we arrived at school (I also had her in '81 and '82) the Pines of Rome by Respighi would be playing on her class record player. She incorporated the teaching of Logic into her English 11 curriculum and taught us not to be trite in our compositions. She was my toughest teacher and my most beloved.”

Sara Freilich wrote a sympathy message

“I remember Miss Ruddle fondly. She was my 11 th grade English teacher and 12th grade journalism teacher at Northwood High School in Silver Spring, MD in 1981 and '82. Boy, was she a tough teacher, but she made me the wonderful writer that I am. I owe her a lot of gratitude! My deepest condolences. -- Sara Freilich, Franklin, Massachusetts”
