I respected Beattie-Anne as my Senior Midwife/Administrator when she visited Golden Bay Maternity Hospital to check on our services in the mid 1980s. I was the acting Midwife Manager so even though Bettie-Anne was a formidable frame, she demanded respect, even while we ate our meal together, provided by the kitchen staff, complete with starched table cloths! She would include hunting while she was on her visit, of course!
