Sorry to hear the news. Drew & I met in 4th grade at Gotwals and attended school together. We lived in the same neighborhood and many times walked to school together. I played for thier wedding at St Francis RC Church 44 years ago. The last time I saw Betty and Drew was at Dr Mauthe's retirement party in 2002. Rest in peace old friend.
