I met Betty several years ago in Lake Las Vegas through a mutual friend, Lona Marie, who also lives there.
I would house sit for Lona while she was on vacation and Betty would pick me up from the airport and and have me over for dinner or we'd go out for lunch and go gambling which she loved and was very lucky at! She was one of the kindest and most generous people I knew and will miss her dearly. This photo is of Betty, myself, Lona and another friend after one of Lona's art shows (Betty loved & bought several pieces of Lona's paintings)

Betty was a fantastic woman who leaves a great legacy. She hired me in 1987 to work at E-B and taught me much about the business world. She will be greatly missed.
