The entire Pearl/Beeby/Bretz/Berst clan is en fête this week, as Norton and Mary Lee’s son is getting married. It’s possible the population of the township has doubled. In any case, the general atmosphere of merrymaking has led to unexpected consequences, and this Letter from Katherine:
Gerry, We all know and love Aunt Betty (Beeby) but few of us knew about her “wild side” as evidenced in these photos of Bettty’s ride tonight in the sidecar of Ray Wallick’s motorcycle. You really can’t get away with anything in small towns, can you? – Katherine
Nope. Might as well get used to the fishbowl. Now that I know Betty’s a biker, I’ll invite her to my next snowmobiling adventure with the McFerrans.

Great picture of Betty by Katherine. Gives us a new side of Betty. She always seems to amaze us!

Connie, the thing is . . . do you think Betty has tattoos? Cool ones?
