As a friend of 52 years I will miss Bette and all of the good times we’ve had together boating, skiing, camping, partying, drag racing just to name a few. I needed a summer job and Betty suggested that I watch kids and I decided to teach them how to swim. She came up with the name Camp NeNe Watch a Kiity and that became my job for many summers. Needless to say Bette will be sorely missed.
