Visits with Mrs. Picket

You're invited to visit the prose and poetry of Ruth Guppy, better known to some as Mrs. Picket, through a collection of some of her best writing. Be prepared to laugh, cry and learn from Ruth about the Hood River area's unique and special history, people and places. Ruth wrote her column, "Over the Picket Fence," for 40 years. She died in 2002 at the age of 89, but lives on through "Visits With Mrs. Picket."
"Ruth Guppy's love for our local history and her ability to share that passion through her writings helps us make a deep personal connection to the stories of the past. Her research lives on through this book, making a whole new generation of Picket Fence visitors."
