She met her husband Lee while in high school. They married in the fall after graduation many years ago. They were and still are best friends. She and Lee moved to Alaska in 1980 in search of adventure "for a couple of years" and lived there until November of 2007, other than a one year hiatus spent on the remote island of Phonpei, Micronesia. Betty was owned by two dogs: Brittany, an English springer spaniel, and Annie, a golden retriever, (pictured) but sadly Brittany and Annie have gone to doggie heaven. She is now owned by another Springer Spaniel, Missy (short for Mischief), and a Cocker-spaniel cross, Charlie; not pictured. In 2007 Betty moved to Canada, and spent five and a half years in the province of Alberta, just outside of Edmonton. In July 2013 she moved to the Duluth, Minnesota area. Seems she just cannot escape long cold winters!view less
