It was through the University of Cincinnati College of Nursing Alumni Association that I first Met Betty in the 1990's. She along with other active alumni put on a fashion show of student nurse uniforms from previous years with current students modeling the uniforms during the luncheons on alumni weekends. She also promoted the recognition of the College of Nursing graduates who served in the military. She shared her stories of her nursing experiences in the Navy and as a civilian nurse. I treasure having kept in touch with her and her daughter since she moved to Florida. In loving memory of a wonderful person. Lu Anne Gerard
