Finishing Ruth Vinton's Rug | Ruth Vinton's exceptional room sized rug was unfinished when she died in 1991 and remained so until Paulette Staats' rug and craft group, Paulette's Punchettes, joined Ruth's daughter, Sally Able (left) in the massive project. Here, pausing for a portrait as their work nears completion in May are (seated l tor from Sally Able) Elaine Ryan, Paulette Staats, Lyn MacBruce, and Leslie Hutchinson. Three generations of women decending from Ruth Vinton are also pictured: daughter, Sally; granddaughter, Mary Merusi; and great granddaughter, Shari Voghell.(Herald / BobEddy)
