Memories of Grandma Betty

She was born on Valentine's Day in Southern Missouri, and had clear Southern Missouri roots.

I was her first grandchild, and we always had a special bond because of it. She often called me her "number 1,” which always made me feel a little awkward - especially around my sister and cousins... but she wasn't exactly known her social awareness, haha.

As a toddler, she and Grandpa John took me fishing in Canada, and I think that kinda kicked off what summertime meant for me growing up.

When I think about the summers of my youth, I think about Grandma Betty.

Golf

She taught me how to play the great game of Golf at a young age and beat me in about every single round that I’ve ever played with her.

I'll never forget the time that she lined …

I grew up on it. Still listen to it often; aspire to one day make my modular synth create it. Le sigh
