but I do not need any help as yet, turned 82 in July. that about does it. My friends would tell you that I am shy, but people who don't know me very well would probably say I am a snob. my husband's buddy's wife said this. Thank God I changed over the years.
I always wanted to be a secretary when I grew up. My family and friends thought that was a good idea. As it turns out, they were right. I became a very good china painter, living up here in Wisconsin I haven't found any china painters and I miss my china painting club in Peoria, Il. It's been several years since I traveled back to Peoria. Would love to attend the Class of 1948 classes of 1950-1980 in 2013 maybe I may attend. Have now been living in Woodruff, Wi. for 10 years. That about catches up with me, will be happy to see old friends at this reunion.
I remain, yours truly, Betty (Clark) Barlow
