On this second episode in a special series commemorating Ruth Pakaluk, Maureen Schwab looks back to the early years of Close to Home to celebrate the show's creator and original host. Ruth's dedication to the pro-life movement and vision for public outreach still resonates nearly three decades later.
This roundtable tribute, hosted by Laurie Letourneau, originally aired as episode 63 of Close to Home shortly after Ruth's untimely passing in September of 1998, at just 41 years of age. Joining Laurie in memorializing Ruth is Father (now Monsignor) Richard Reidy, Grace Cheffers, June Johnson and WCCA TV's own Mauro DePasquale.
