Betty was my first girlfriend and I adored her. What was there not to adore? She was beautiful, smart and respected by all who knew her. Her family was world class. She lived a very good and successful life. I know that I'm a better man for having known her.

I´m very late in posting this memory of Betty. She and I were close friends through high school. She wore my high school fraternity pin that was important to me. She was beautiful and possessed a character to match. What a great blessing it was to know Betty Carolyn Beatty.
