End of an era rings in Laguna Woods leaders leave town
Bob and Bette Ring retire after 27 years of service to Laguna Woods. Bette led the Aquadettes and Harmonaires while Bob served as city councilman and three time mayor and held posts with Third Mutual and local foundations. He helped drive cityhood, Gate 12 redevelopment, Laguna Canyon conservation, and a village history book. The Rings say their departure aims to be closer to family as they reflect on a legacy of open space conservation and community leadership.
