Ruby Santucci knows the meaning of independence. In some ways, her life was typical of the 1950s. She grew up as an only child in Irondequoit, a suburb of Rochester, attended Our Lady of Mercy High School, married her prom date, Vince, and had children. Despite its familiarity, this life is not an account in a textbook: a living person experienced it, and it is extraordinary. - Rochester native brings us 'In the Loop' (Rochester Democrat and Chronicle)
