I met Betsy in 1949 at Jane's Lunchenette where the local guys &
Lasell girls would hang out - soon after I introduced her to my brother
Bill. The attraction was mutual & lasted thru 40 years of marriage. She was dearly loved by all the Wilson Clan. Betsy the pleasure & honor of knowing you was mine, you were the best - Love. your Brother-in-law, Bob

Betsey was one of my travelling
companions while we were visiting the Netherlands a few years ago. I enjoyed her company enormously and will always consider her friendship part of my most valued memories.
