<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><FONT color=#0000ff>I just received word from Suzi
Frohreich (Stream) that her mom passed away on Friday evening 9-8-06. <FONT
face=Arial size=2>Betty's passing was not sudden. She had been ill
for the last year or so and in the last couple weeks was placed in the care
of Hospice. Suzi got to spend some time with her last weekend at home her home
in Long Beach. So she was with Family and those she loved. Jenny and I since
moving to AZ have become very close to both Suzi and Greg in some hard times.

<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>Many in the NSRCA and in the pattern
community will miss Betty. A little bio of stuff that I know. Betty was the NATS
RC category director for many many years starting back in the mid 70's and
running up until the late 80's and early 90's. Those of you who have been to the
NATS know the job Al Williamson currently has. Well that was Betty's job for all
those years. This was when the NATS was all at one time. The RC Category
director is in charge of all the RC stuff, Pylon, Pattern, Scale, Heli's, and so
on. In today's environment I think there are a couple of these directors but my
understanding was at the time Betty was running the show it was a single person
job. In that time her and daughter Suzi ran scoring for Team trials, TOC's
and possibly even the Worlds in 89'. They were deeply involved with
the success of pattern and pylon both on a National level as well as in the
Southern California, AZ, NV area. Greg Frohreich and Suzi also ran
several Pattern NATS as event director at the time Betty was the R/C
Category director. I believe a total of 3 or 4 Pattern NATS were run by the
family. Betty and Suzi teamed up to run the NSRCA as we all know the Secretary
and Treasurer run the show and do the bulk of the work. Most of us only remember
Maureen Dunphy in this position and the hours and hours she put into the job,
but in the mid 70's till the early 90's Betty and Suzi had this job, with an
occasional VP position in there with Greg as well.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>We in the pattern community have so
many folks that give their time and talents so that we can play with our toy
airplanes. Betty was one of these people that gave and gave and gave. This was a
super lady and those of us who knew her will surely morn her loss. I'm sure we
all wish her God's Speed and Blessing.</FONT></DIV>
