Description
Gael Ruby became involved with the peace mural in its early stages after her friend Donna Bringenberg invited her to help plan the mural. Ruby was involved in the early fundraising for the mural, as well as gathering ideas of peace from community members. She remembers working with religious members of the community to come up with images of peace that were non-religious, but still reflected their conceptions of peace. We also hear about Ruby’s childhood, spending her teenage years in 1960s Santa Barbara, and how she came to live in Mount Shasta after being born in Missouri.
