Allika Ruby (1969–2017)

A loving wife, mother, friend, and colleague, who left us too soon.

Allika was an invaluable part of the Far Western family.  She was always ready to take on any challenge, and excelled in all her endeavors here. Her writing skills were exceptional, as evidenced by her recent Governor’s Historic Preservation Award for Salvaging the Past, a document prepared for CRM students. She was a joy to work with and we will miss her greatly.

In honor of Allika, and with her knowledge, a College Education Fund (the Calla Ruby Trust) was set up for Callie—Rick and Allika’s nine-year-old daughter. If anyone would like to contribute to the fund, you can make checks directly payable to the Calla Ruby Trust and send them C/O Far Western– 2727 Del Rio Place – Davis California 95618.
