Bo & Family:
I was much saddened to see in the Globe & Mail that Betty died earlier. Her parents, Edith & John, were long time friends of my parents, Clarence & Helen McKee, and Mrs. Rhind a close antique-hunting friend of my wife Roz's, when we lived in Montreal and later here. Roz was forever saying "Mrs. Rhind taught me that!" John was a Bell V-P when I was with them, in fact I think got me interested in joining Bell, after taking Forestry! . And Betty took Home.Ec. with Roz Wiggs at McDonald, and first introduced me to her when she was in Toronto for a post-degree course. So I owe her a lifetime of happy marriage; our relationship was long standing and very close. Lost touch over the years after she ended her years with The Added Touch, and Roz died (in 2007). I know she had problems for many a year recently, and I'd not heard she'd moved to Calgary.
Betty was one of those friends it was always a pleasure to see or talk to - never seemed to have a dull moment during our times in touch ... always cheerful and a happy greeting.
Most sincere sympathies to all of the family. She'll be missed.
