Meet Ruth Ready - Ruth is currently working to earn her GED.

"When I was six years old I was very ill", says Ruth, "but the doctors helped me get much better."

"Now I work at the Madison-Cortland ARC. I have been there for 29 years so far. I lived on my own for thirteen years, then I moved to the Willow house where I have lived for the past eight years. I like it there. I grew up with two sisters. Their names are Roberta and Cyndy. Roberta lives in Topeka, Kansas and has two children. Cyndy has a lovely husband, Joe, and three girls. My parents worked for the State for thirty-two years then they retired from Rome State School." - Ruth Ready
