To reach Ruthanne Beighley’s office you drive down a country
lane in Hermitage, Pa. and follow your nose. En route the intoxicating
aroma of vanilla and batter begins to saturate the
air. Soon you come upon the corporate headquarters of the Joy
Cone Co., the source of this pleasant, enveloping smell.
Life is sweet for Ruthanne Beighley, L’76. As general counsel
for the largest ice cream cone maker in America, she spends
her days amidst waffle and sugar cones and ice cream scoopers.
Better yet, she avoids the time-consuming and nerve-wracking
commute that exhausts her big city colleagues. She’s spared the
traffic cones, fender-benders, and the advisories, and there’s no
such thing as rush hour. In short, the drive from Hermitage to
her home in neighboring Sharon is a snap. “I am never on a road
that is a parking lot. Ever,” says Beighley. “I relish the ease with
which I can get around.”
