I breifly knew Ruth in the early 70′s when I attended, Compton High School. In fact I was introduce to Ruth by my High school teacher Wes Hall. I’m curently searching for the wearabouts of both Wes Hall, and Cedric Adams. Both influence my direction in becoming an afro-american artist. To any one out there who know were to contact Cedric and Wes/ my E-Mail address, roncaraway55@yahoo.com

What a wonderful lady…she really meant a lot to so many West Coast Artists. I first met her in 1963 while an art student at Los Angeles State College. I have a drawing in her book.

Ms. Waddy’s memory could not have come to better hands. Thank you doubly, for now I know she has not been forgotten.

I was very fortunate to have seen the Waddy Sketchbook shortly before LACMA’s purchase. Asked as to whether the book should be broken up or kept whole, I, without hesitation, said “whole”! I don’t know if my small artist from Chicago vote carried any weight or not, but I am very happy that the book was kept as intended and that a museum has acquired it!

Fascinating. She sounds like a remarkable woman – I hope to see the book someday.
