I have nothing but warm memories of my Aunt Betty. Every year we would go to the reunion and I couldn't wait to get there. It was such a joyous time and everyone was greeted with pleasure and even though I was young, I knew it was genuine. Going to Uncle Bob's cabin was always eventful and we kids ran amuck but none of the adults noticed because they were having their own good time.
