Ruth (Peterson) Howard was born in 1923, grew up in Fredericton, NB and was educated at the University of NB (BSc '44) and the University of BC (MEd '79). Before marriage she was employed in the groundfish investigation at both the Atlantic (St. Andrews, NB) and the Pacific (Nanaimo BC) Biological Stations.
Married in 1951 to Bob, they raised four children: Peter (wife Brenda and Gregory and Nicole), Claudia (son Blair), Carol (husband Leo and Cyan and Coco). The book, Crabby Crab, is dedicated to the memory of their elder son, Carlyle.
When asked about hobbies, Ruth would claim they are family and friends. She and Bob have enjoyed travels at home and abroad, involvement in community and church affairs, socializing with friends, especially at bridge, and best of all, sharing happy times with their grandchildren.
Ruth has always enjoyed writing - letters, articles (some of which were published) and lately, email with cyber pals around the world. To have a book published in her 80th year is a dream fulfilled.
