Wonderful memories of Ruel & Runa Wooten

He remembers their stores, fishing on their boats, and a wonderful little parakeet named Dickie. 'Nowadays, Dennis Wooten, says, "we could use a few more peope in this world like them."

By Dennis Harvey

I have very happy wonderful memories of Ruel Wooten. The Wootens were my great uncle and aunt. Runa (Runie) was my mom's mom's youngest sister (my great aunt).

Ruel and Runa very hard working people in Columbia and very prominent business people. They founded the Circle R (hence, the "R" for Ruel and Runa) in addition to the department store.

They were both very active in the community.



I remember many times going to Rudy's Lad and Dad, and seeing my aunt and uncle working together.

They would take me fishing in their boat and Uncle Ruel's brother's houseboat(his brother and he lived across the street from one another back then.

I also remember they had a cute parakeet they named Dickie.

I was very young at that time, and wish I could remember more about the signs.

Now days, we could use a few more people in this world like them. --Dennis Harvey
