Many of you will remember the fluffy little St. Bernard puppy named Ruby who arrived from Kansas 10 years ago. She spent the first five years of her life here at Spring Mountain and later visited often. To the delight of all those who came to buy tickets, this gentle giant stood up behind the counter to receive the affectionate pats and hugs of all she encountered. It is fitting that she came our first year and celebrated our 10th with us. "Not the least hard thing to bear when they go from us, these quiet friends, is that they carry away with them so many years of our own lives." John Galsworthy
