My condolences to the family. Betty and I worked together at the FAA up until her retirement. Although budget discussions can become rather heated, Betty was always very professional and easy to work with. She did an excellent job writing about her experiences on the round the world cruise and remembered telling her that she missed her calling as a writer. I'm sorry that we lost touch of each other. Betty was a wonderful person.
