Just prior to the start of the July Lunch and Learn meeting on July 3, 2024, a HyVee gift card was presented to Ed and Ruth Evans who celebrated their 70th Wedding Anniversary on June 20, 2024. They have been faithful members of RICIGS since 1995. They were asked if they attended school together, but Ruth said no, they attended rival schools, Ruth at Morning Sun in Louisa County and Ed just across the county line at a small country school in Henry County Iowa. Ed said their first date was a blind date that he asked a friend to coordinate. The above photo was taken at their grandson’s wedding in October 2023. Ed and Ruth live in Camanche, Iowa and are active in their community and will be serving as Grand Marshalls at Camanche Days this summer.
