Don and Ruth Baldwin
Don and Ruth live at Wellington, Alabama, a place where they have their own vegetable garden. Ruth, like her mother cans and freezes quite a bit of the food they eat. Ruth is my wife Shirley's younger sister, she is a Christian and loves The Lord Jesus with all her heart. Don is a maintenance technician at a local foundry and also has a small shop at home where he does computer repair in his spare time.
