Pioneering journalist, 96: Follow your heart

As an international correspondent and photographer, Ruth Gruber witnessed a lot of history. She also created history during heroic adventures as a humanitarian.

….Gruber, 96, will be in Madison Thursday to talk about her latest book, “Witness: One of the Great Correspondents of the Twentieth Century,” during a free public lecture at the UW’s Pyle Center, 702 Langdon St.

Gruber is actually returning to her alma mater this week. She received a master’s degree from UW-Madison in 1931.
