I have a fond memory of Betsie to share, I was the maintenance man at Valhalla in 1985, and also lived in building 5 apt # 16 directly under Betsie who lived in apt # 26, she would come to the office for coffee in the mornings and brag about how she slept on top of me every night, I told her it was comforting, lol
