Memories of Ruth Kreuzer

I am very sorry to learn of the passing of Ruth Kreuzer; she was an important part of my life and education at SLU. She taught me Russian for all four years, and while my grades in her classes were not great (luckily I took Russian pass-fail) my last two years, I learned a lot from her. This included not only the great Russian language, but about Russia in general - she helped me organize my trip to the Soviet Union between semesters senior year - and about perseverance and dedication. My parents and siblings stayed at her house one year on Parents Weekend, and she sent my wife Amy and I a wedding present when we married. What a marvelous professor and a great credit to SLU - may she Rest in Peace.  Jason Duncan '85

I knew Ruth best when the Yoga Loft was coming into being. She was such a dedicated worker.  Patricia Glover '61
