Happy 90th Birthday, Betsy! I’m so happy to know that you are doing well and keeping active during these strange times we live in. We in Nexus are nearing our 50th anniversary and still performing and recording. Of course, we are on the sidelines these days just like every other musician, but we hope to resume things before too long.
I just want you to know that we could not have gotten to this point without your incredible support over the years. When anyone asks me about an arts manager, I use you as an example of the best there is. You are the rare combination of an effective manager and a wonderful person, and we are so lucky to have you in our lives.
Enjoy your 90th birthday which happens to be exactly one week before my 76th! All best wishes to you and your family!
Russell Hartenberger
Happy Birthday Betsy!
On the occasion of your birthday let me express my thanks! Thanks for sharing your enthusiasm, your joy in the process of improvement, your caring, and your musicianship, with the Concord Chorus and with me.
With love, Jean Connelly
DEAR BETSY,
WHEN WE WERE ALL SO YOUNG IN THOSE EARLY YEARS IN WAYLAND, THE IMAGE I HAD OF A 90-YEAR OLD PERSON (HAD I EVER EVEN THOUGHT OF ONE) WAS CERTAINLY NOT ONE YOU NOW PRESENT! IT HAS BEEN A PLEASURE SHARING BOOKS AND STIMULATING CONVERSATION WITH YOU FOR ALL THESE YEARS! MANY THANKS FOR YOUR CHEERFUL, PATIENT AND EFFICIENT GUIDANCE OF OUR BOOK GROUP THROUGH THE SCHEDULING AND SELECTIONS PROCESSES! I LOOK FORWARD TO BEING ABLE TO GATHER ALL TOGETHER AGAIN TO SHARE MANY MORE PLEASANT TIMES.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, BETSY!
MUCH LOVE,
SYDNEY
(AND NORMAN, TOO)

Hello Fred,
Greetings to you and to Betsy! She may not remember me but I sang in the Tanglewood Festival Chorus with Betsy (I started in 1977) and then also joined the Cantata Singers in 1990. So we have those two groups in common. Remember those days rehearsing at BU and at the West Barn out at Tanglewood? It is so sad that there is no Tanglewood (or any singing) this summer.
90 years young! That is fabulous. I still picture her in the choir lineup. Congratulations and Happy Birthday to Betsy and many more happy and healthy returns!
Maybe our paths will cross in Dover NH as I am frequently in Durham and passing through Dover.
Have a happy!
Dwight Porter
