Bill, I was so sorry to hear about Betty. I will always remember the help you and Betty gave us when we arrived in Libya, help, wisdom and above all laughter. Betty was a beautiful lady-how could any one forget her. It has been years since we have seen you but I laugh every time I think of our trip to Ireland with the Havards. You and Betty have such a warm spot in my heart
