Dear Betsy,
When we moved into Newbury Court 3+ years ago I read through all the information they gave us on things that were going on around campus. The name I saw over and over involved in almost every group was Betsy Moyer. I thought to myself “wow, this woman is involved in everything here and must be pretty amazing”. Well as I got to know you, dear Betsy, I found that to be very true and I looked to you as the person who really knew what was going on around here. When you sought out Bob to play chess with Bill I knew you were a person who loved to get people together.
Through dinners together, talent shows and other activities I got to know you better but it was not until you formed the madrigal group that I got to fully appreciate your many talents. Your musical talents are well known but your organization and leadership as well as your incredible hard work pulled this group of mostly wannabe musicians together. You have always valued each one of us and made us feel an important part of the group. How are you have kept us together during the pandemic it’s truly a work of persistence and learning together.
As one who is 15 years younger than you I can only say that you’re an amazing role model and I want to be like you when I hit 90. Thanks for all you do for all of us at Newbury Court and thank you for your friendship. Congratulations on this milestone birthday and I wish you happiness, good health and many many blessings.
Sending love and good wishes,
Patty
Dear BG,
This was an assignment from school that I did about you and how you were in the symphony orchestra and I hope you like it.
If you had a hundred dollars and you couldn’t keep it what would you do with it?
I would give it to my BG and Papa. We call my BG, BG because her name is Betsy Greene and that’s what my dad and uncle used to call her. My BG and papa were in the Boston symphony orchestra. My papa played the trombone and my BG played the piano. And the reason why I would give them a hundred dollars is because they inspire me to learn how to play music and I’m learning to play the piano myself. Anyway I would give it to my great grandparents because they taught me so much and I look up to them and I feel like that would be a good thank you and they could buy puzzles and things like that on amazon.
Happy birthday, I love you and I miss you,
Love,
Allie

Dear Mrs. Moyer,
Happy 90th Birthday!! The lessons you taught me, both musical and about being a kind, productive, engaged person, continue to resonate all these many years later. I know you’ve spread these messages throughout your life to touch the lives of many others as well. I hope you have a wonderful day of celebration!
With love,
Bronwyn (MacDonald) Lamont
Hi Fred,
After 25 years, Loraine and I have left Hampshire Road. We have relocated to The Overlook in Charlton, Ma. Betsy tells me that you have performed there. I hope you will again.
Betsy has our new address, and our emails remain unchanged.
Regarding the magnificent Betsy, I can say that she and the amazing Bill welcomed us on our arrival day in Wayland and from that day forward we became fast friends. Our closeness as “across the street” neighbors led to many visits back and forth and pleasant afternoons and evenings of music and discussion. Not the least benefit was that of meeting the Moyer and Greene families.. We reminisce often on treasured moments.
All the very best to you Fred and April and your family.
Affectionately,
John
Betsy is a wonderful person
may she live for many more years.
She’s ready to take on new projects
with an energy that’s hard to believe.
Her many superior talents range widely
from singing, playing all sorts of music to cooking and taking a photo.
She and Bill entertain with red wine they buy in large cases from Costco.
She’s working on composing a sonata that’s destined to be far from bland
for two pianos played by one person with very long arms and long hands.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY
