Dear Bettie! To anyone reading, Bettie is a beautiful woman inside and out, much more than she gives herself credit for. After meeting Bettie, I felt like I had known her for many years, and that we had been BBF. I got to hear her stories till the wee hours of the night because we shared a room. So late in fact that I couldn’t sleep after that, so I couldn’t get up in time for the opening ceremonies, closing ceremonies, or the breakfast buffet. We laughed so much and it was wonderful to feel so comfortable with someone. Somehow, Bettie, my handouts from Lillian’s seminar and from the relapse prevention workshop didn’t make it home with me. Could they possibly be in one of the green folders?? Bettie toured us around Chicago and the city is absolutely beautiful architecturally, and the Navy Pier was fun, especially seeing all the Tiffany stained glass. I miss you B. One of us is going to have to move. Carole
