RUBY ANN TOLLEY
So short a tenure did she have
in the town of her birth before
her parents moved to Great
Falls, Montana. Ruby Ann Toll¬
ey of Malibu is unable to recall
the name of the village. She
knows only that it is somewhere
in Ramsey County, North Dako¬
ta. (We can afford to be chari¬
table about this oversight since
for many years we couldn't

which we first opened our peep¬

bought a resort — just up and

They had 16 cabins, a restaurant,
gas pump, boats, fishing tackle,
sundries— the works. It was, of
course, a seasonal business and
they soon discovered you could
get very hungry during the “off
season”. They tried to make it a
year-around affair, but people-
