I didn't know ES, but found that she took some great photos of Evel Knievel at Plymouth Hangtown in 1972. Searching for more, she had an eye through the lens from what I have seen of her other projects. Kita Curry, please contact me.

I ,for one, would love to see her photo work published in a book. There might be copyright issues but there needs to be a legacy of her work for public consumption.
She and I had photography in common at Paly High.

I fondly remember Beth from a time now 45 years ago, when I was beginning work as an reporter/producer at KUOP in Stockton. We shared interests and connections with regard to the UFW and other things. I thought of her tonight watching a PBS special on Dorthea Lange -- Elizabeth, I think had that level of talent. I regret that we lost touch -- and I've been saddened to learn of her passing. She put smiles in my life many years ago.

I don't know who posted the picture of Beth at Tulane, but thank you! She'd only be 72 if she were alive today.

I just found out that Beth died back in 2008. I fell in love with her from the moment that I met her at Paly HS. She certainly lives in me and I am glad that she has profoundly affected so many. My love to all who knew her.

WE WERE FORTUNATE TO HAVE KNOWN BETH AND SHARED GOOD TIMES WITH HER AT PATTI AND TIMS. SHE WAS ONE OF A KIND AND SO KIND. SHE WAS REMARKABLE AS A PHOTOGRAHER. YOU CAN ALL BE VERY PROUD TO CALL HER YOUR SISTER. LOVE JOHN AND BETTY

Beth was such an amazing soul.We will miss her laughter,warm heart,smile, her sense of adventuring into whatever the unknown was finding the answers to all that boggled her. Beth loved to take pictures of family get together's,special occasion's, but always ready with her camera's just in case she missed something. She was a free spirit, touching all of our hearts with love and kindness. Beth will always be with us, she is watching over all of us wanting to know what's going on in our lives. Beth is on a fabulous journey and with this my sister, Peace,Love and follow the rainbow.
