I have such good memories of Bettie and Lou from the mid eighties, when they lived on 35th street; I became president of the Realtor's Association in the mid eighties and they were so very helpful and nice to me; I would stop and have a drink with them on my way home on the north side of Kenosha. My deepest condolences to you, Lill Hauschild
