Whistling Up the Bay with Betty Beeby and Char Smith
One Thursday in May Char Smith brought her class of 4th graders to visit Betty Beeby. She has done this every year for 24 years. This will be the last year, because Char is retiring. Betty says she’s retiring too. I’m not sure whether to believe either of them, but time will tell. For those […]
