Message: [QUOTE="John Clifford, post: 252028, member: 138174"] Hi Trent. To try and answer some of your questions: 1. Ruth Becker Blanchard did attend some of the THS Conventions, and her obituary is listed in one of the late-1990 editions; 2. I know for sure that she was interviewed for "A Question of Murder", and post-humously, her interview informations were featured in A&E's "Titanic:Death of a Dream/The Legend Lives On"; 3. Can't help you on this one; 4. I never met her, but I did hear an interesting story about her one, and only, cruise, that she took, after the Titanic: In March 1990, Ms. Blanchard went on a cruise to the Mexican Riviera. During the lifejacket drill, she commented "We never did this on the Titanic". That created mamy of the other passengers to start whispering. Actually, if you would like a good source of information, you might want to consider writing to Don Lynch, author of "Titanic:An Illustrated History". Don even dedicated the book to Ruth and Edwina McKenzie. He knew both women for several years. Let me know if you need his address. Sincerely, John Clifford [/QUOTE]
