Ruby Szudajski started writing limericks at the suggestion of her daughters at the age of 86.

She claims to be the oldest person in the world, in her age bracket, who can write limericks, short stories, book reviews, a book, AND crochet afghans for her entire family of seventeen plus members including the great-grandchildren.

Ruby is not stopping with limericks. She plans to write a book of her memories which go back to 1926 (when she was only four), and her family enjoyed their lives without the dubious benefits of radio, television, telephones and cell” phones etc. Her short stories and book reviews were featured in “The LeRue Review” under her pen name Rita Laat.
