I only met Betty when my Dad and I got a dog from her around (1971 or so). My Dad was Friend's with Betty at the Post Office and we took a Dog she could not keep (Snoopy, A long haired Collie/Shepard). My Dad always spoke highly of Betty and I remember her Great smile and how she was so happy for me and our new Dog.
