Betty Jean was a friend and classmate from the Livingston Academy class of ’51 and part of a group I “ran with” throughout our four years at Livingston Academy. After graduation I lost contact with her until our class began to reunite regularly. I will always remember her as a good-natured, sweet young lady. Yes, in my mind she will remain a sweet young lady. Bye, bye for now Betty, be seeing you soon.
