She graduated from high school, went to the University of Oklahoma, graduated with a bachelors degree, and a masters degree in accounting.

After graduation, she married a fellow student at the University of Oklahoma, who became an officer in the US Army. She followed him throughout his military career, around the world, for 24 years, living in Germany, Japan, and elsewhere.

After retirement, they lived in Oklahoma City, with their two daughters, and Ruth taught at Oklahoma City University. In her last 15 years of teaching, Ruth was Director of an MBA Program, taught in the Pacific Rim Region, including Taiwan, Hong Kong, Singapore, and Kuala Lumpur.

Diane Trembly had two wonderful careers. The first was in medicine, into which she went specifically so that she could travel all over the world working in third world countries - and see the world. This is the career that she will talk about. It includes: week-end trips with a flying club to Baja California; 6 months volunteering in Guatemala; then real employment in Vietnam, Puerto Rico, Nicaragua, and South Africa.

Her second career, not expected to be included in this presentation, was in osteoarchaology. "Osteo" means bones. She was a physical anthropologist/archaeologist, specializing in human skeletal remains. Diane says that it may sound exciting, but it is very boring to anyone who is not in that field; very academic. (In fact, people think archaeology is about finding exciting things; it is really a lot of surveying and mapping; and the value of things found is rarely in the thing itself, but in what it can tell you).

Noel Smith, and Len Gumley, discussed some of the memorable experiences and events that occurred during their lives, and their presentations will be 30 minutes each, with 15 minutes Q&A to follow.

Noel Wilson Smith received his AB degree from Indiana University, his MA from University of Colorado, and his Ph.D. from Indiana University.

He is Professor Emeritus at the State University of New York at Plattsburgh, Courtesy Professor at the University of Florida, Fellow in the American Psychological Association, and has held offices in the American Association of University Professors.

He co-authored with J. R. Kantor The Science of Psychology: An Interbehavioral Survey (1975). He authored Greek and Interbehavioral Psychology (1993, Rev. ed.), An Analysis of Ice Age Art: Its Psychology and Belief System (1992), and Current Systems in Psychology: History, Theory, Research, and Applications (2001). He was an editor and contributor to Reassessment in Psychology: The Interbehavioral Alternative (1983) and founded and edited "The Interbehavioral Newsletter."

His professional interests include logic of science and history of psychology as a tool of analysis. He has served on the editorial board of professional journals and has organized professional conferences as well as presenting papers at such conference, published numerous papers in academic journals, and contributed chapters to academic books.

In 1999 he founded the Humanists of Sarasota Bay (HUSBAY), served as president from 1999 to 2008, and was designated President Emeritus in 2012. Recently he participated in the National Geographic Society "Genographic Project" using DNA data that traces human migrations back more than 70,000 years from northern Africa to global distribution.
