My greatest memories of Becky were in the 1960´s and 70´s, when she was young, vibrant and seeking the next adventure. When I was young I would sneak into her room and play her Beatle records. In 1968 Beatty (mom), Becky, and myself drove to New York City to meet Lois (aunt), Cindy, and Billy. We stayed at the YWCA and toured the city.
