The New Orleans born Ruth Fertel passed away on this day in 2002 at the age of 75. She entered LSU at 15 to pursue degrees in chemistry and physics and later was the first female horse trainer in Louisiana. As a divorced mother of two she mortgaged her house in 1965 to buy a restaurant she had seen advertised for sale in the classifieds called Chris's Steak House. The rest is history. http://ruthschris.com/OurStory
