Betty was a mentor to me when I joined the auxiliary. If it hadn't been for her I wouldn't be in the auxiliary and so dedicated to it. Betty asked my mother, Janet Maguire, to join and my mom asked me to join and I've been a member for 20 years. Betty Boop, you will be missed. Say hello to my mom for me.
