Sally graduated magna cum laude from Michigan State University in 1965. During a summer study abroad in London, she met Robert Silbernagel. Bob and Sally were married in January 1966 while they were both graduate students at Boston College.
It was at Books on the Common that she met Rudy Ruggles Jr., a frequent customer at the store. She found him “a bit stuffy” at first, but he won her over by, among other things, “buying the most interesting books!” Over the next 23 years of marriage not only did they share a love of books, but also the joy of exploration.
