“I also wanted to raise the memory of his wife, Loret Ruppe, who was a former head of the Peace Corps and an Ambassador to Norway as well. I do not think it has ever been done before, but if ever there was a case for naming this Federal facility after both a husband and wife, this would be it. Unfortunately, she is deceased but those of us who remember this great couple from Michigan will remember and think very highly of the very appropriate memorialization of a building in their honor.”
