She attended school in Buffalo Center and then worked as a librarian. She was married to Albert Sleper in 1928, andjoined him in the gas business at the DX gas station, driving the bulk gas truck and delivering fuel to farmers. In those years, the gas was delivered in five gallon containers and poured into 55 gallon barrels. Later she attendednursing school and following graduation whe worked for Drs. Feldick, Kroach and Moermond.

Albert and Ruby were active members of the Lions Club, with Albert receiving one of the highest honors in Iowa. Ruby is still a member of the Buffalo Center Lions Club and continues to support it in many ways.

Following Albert's death, Ruby continued living in the home they shared, where she enjoys a variety of card games and the many visits and phone calls from her friends and her brother, Merrill Harkness in Albuquerque, New Mexico.

Buby's actual birthday was on February 26 and she celebrated with a delicious dinner in her home, followed by birthday cake and ice cream. The afternoon was spent playing cards.

Happy 92nd Birthday, Ruby!'
