Betty Jane
I am very sorry to read of Betty Jane's passing. She was my first Spanish teacher. She, along with the others, was the reason I became a Spanish teacher. We became friends later in life and had kept in touch through Christmas cards for many years. Her talents will be missed. My condolences to the family. Peter DiMaio
