I cannot ever forget meeting Marsha’s Mom and my wonderful friend Marit’s grandmother!! I met Betty at Marit’s wedding– she was so beautiful and so warm. But I had no idea about her history and her scholarly excellence– she reminds me so much of my own grandmother, of the same generation of women who fought for women like myself. My grandmother Ramalaxmi, just like Betty, completed her doctoral dissertation in her 60s…what determination and grit these women had! Betty, I’m sorry we didn’t get to meet again but I am so happy i got to bask in your sunlight for a short while. Now I know why Marit is so amazing–Your spirit lives on! Rest in peace. Love, Radhika
