Additional Comments:
I started taking the Breckinridge County Herald-News in May 1980 when I 
began my family research.  I read Betty's columns every week.  It was like 
loosing a friend when I read her obituary.  A very witty, funny, 
compassionate writer.  I loved her columns.  Goodbye old friend.
