| Saying good-bye Betty Moore and Nancy Stearns June 1981 |
Betty Moore (pictured above) taught with the DODDS for many years in the Philippines, in Morocco, in Germany, and in Japan. I'm sure she taught and lived other places, but I can't remember them. Betty was a great friend and helped this rookie cope with living in a foreign country and with dealing with military regulations for civilians..
She retired in the mid-80s, married a high school sweetheart, and moved to the Philippines. She died unexpectedly from a brain aneurysm about a year after her marriage.

That is so sad, especially for her husband. Such a short time together. :-( But, it sounds like you have some wonderful memories of Betty.
ReplyDeleteYou obviously met so many wonderful friends during your time overseas. Great memories!
ReplyDeleteYou have lots of wonderful memories and photos from that time! Sad about Betty though. Have a great Fourth!
ReplyDeleteShe sounds like she was a great friend! I remember you blogging about that large rocker:)
ReplyDeleteAwww I love that she married later in her life. You both look like the sweetest people ever in that image. It looks like it was taken in the airport ?
ReplyDeleteI bet that was a bittersweet time. Sad to leave but happy to be coming home.
