We first met Ronda & Chet Rudy when we bought the house next door to them in Harrison, Idaho in August of 2002. They were longtime residents at that time who knew everyone in town. They are wonderful neighbors and we became good friends. Ronda was always busy taking care of her beautiful garden flowers, crafting new designs and taking great pride in the amazing colorful quilts she made as gifts. Ronda entertained us for hours over potluck dinners with her stories on the Swift Commercial Truck Driving circuit throughout the US with Chet. She could outmaneuver the “men folk” with her truck driving skills. We helped Ronda & Chet celebrate their 50th Wedding Anniversary at a big town party in Harrison Central Park. In 2008, the Rudy’s finally came to California to visit us and attend a wedding. This beautiful photo of both of them smiling during that trip is how we will always remember Ronda.
