[@map-reduce]

If I make it to 99, I'd be happy to be half this full of life. Wonderful! I'm officially adding her to my "people I'd love to have dinner with" :D

[@djperry211]

I have a similar list, although it’s for afternoon tea.

[@viola151]

В России вряд ли бы она прожила столько лет!

[@dr.d723]

Well done, Ruth! You are an inspiration to all of us!

[@notmyworld44]

That was ultra-delightful! What a bright spirit!

[@micheltoscano5880]

Congratulations Ruth! You are an exceptional human being.

[@carolfitzhugh8097]

[@katiabarcenas8002]

[@dodomein]

[@anthonydecarvalho652]

[@marcelogoncalves2987]

[@berlinzerberus]

Wonderful!

[@rhodatseng885]

She definitely is a role model to many, many people.

[@alishademmery3581]

Brilliant

[@TheRealGnolti]

Harry Truman was probably the only POTUS who deeply loved (and knew) classical music; his enthusiasm for Ruth would have been genuine.

[@Dad4Life]

Bravo! Great story.

[@cynthiagonzalez658]

[@cynthiagonzalez658]

I have not heard of her, though.

[@pianisthenics]

There’s even a video when she was young but not one video of Rachmaninoff at the piano, how unfortunate

[@snakkat5215]

Veia

[@schotext2683]

Rachmaninoff did not teach and had no pupils.

[@andy.freemind]

Tibor Yusti von Arth was pupil from Rachmaninov.

[@juliustilghman861]

Gina Bachauer was a pupil of Rachmaninoff.

[@pianxtremeyt]

you are SO wrong about that. He taught lots and had many students.
