Ruth Gustafson

In 1940, Dar and Marge Dorgan, Ruth Gustafson, a former teacher in Bradford, Rosemary Moran and Patricia Moffett, of Knoxville, started on their journey west to attend the San Francisco World’s Fair. On this trip, the girls had a letter from Henry Ford to his representatives in California and another letter from Darryl B. Zannuk, director of 20th Century-Fox Film Colony inviting them to be his guests while in California. Again they had passes to all shows and entertainments at the Exposition.

 Ruth was not from the Bradford area.  In 1936 Ruth was a teacher at Bradford High School.  She married Edgar Johnson and last lived in Kankakee, IL
