"This is how I really felt. My true feelings. My true dreams. It has all been captured." Betty Jean, 2018 May Betty Jean's sense of humor and open warmth reach out to you from these pages and draw you into another season of our nation's history. By walking through this woman's ordinary, exceptional life with her, you will experience part of the legacy of the Greatest Generation and journey through some of the most indelible periods of our nation's history. I hope you let yourself slow down, settle into the comfortable couch in her small den overlooking the tall pines and peaceful lake in the heart of the South, and allow this wise, funny, profound woman to share some snippets about life, love, faith, and history.
