Betsy was not exactly my aunt; she was the aunt of my cousins. She was the sister of Robert P. Fenstermacher, the man who married my dad's sister, my Aunt Joyce.
Betsy was a tall, sweet, well-spoken lady with a congenial spirit. More than anything she did, I remember how she felt. I recently read that charm was the ability of one person to make two people feel comfortable and smart. By this measure, Betsy was as charming as a person can come.
