An article on Ruth Simon is in the November/December 2006 issue of 
the Seismological Research Letters, a publication of the 
Seismological Society of 
America. 
Unsung 
Heroines: Ruth B. Simon   Ruth was working at Lamont Observatory 
during my first year in graduate school.

It reminded me of the manual that she wrote:   Earthquake 
interpretations : a manual for reading seismograms, which I haven't 
thought about since my graduate schoold days.  My professional 
seismology work only involved local and regional seismograms, mostly 
from southern Alaska, so I think I'll look up her manual to help with 
interpreting the seismograms that I typically record on my AS-1 system.

The article also included a useful link to a web site for finding 
library materials.  That's a useful site of which I was unaware. Use 
this link to see if there is a copy of her manual in a library near 
you:  http://www.worldcatlibraries.org/wcpa/top3mset/f421589db9985f18.html

Cheers,
John
