I am sorry to hear about Betsy's passing. PMHS Class of 77 had their 30th reunion on the 24th. Betsy was mentioned with great fondness. I think often of our friendship all through school and had been sorry that we lost touch. My thoughts and prayers are with you all at this time. Helen Hyman Bethencourt
