Betty Jo Lacy was my teacher at Lake Hamilton High School.
She was an excellent teacher, and made a difference in my life.

I have fond memories of Aunt Betty Jo visiting us in Albuquerque and heading up all the family reunions when we made it back to Arkansas. I also remember her carrying around her dog at those reunions as she kept all of us in line. : ) Loved her sense of humor and that Lacy twinkle in her eyes.
