[Mt-blind] Loss of a leader

[Jim Marks]

Betsy often talked about her difficulties in her identity as a blind person.
Like so many of us with residual vision, she refused for many years any
consideration of herself as blind.  You know the refrain.  I can see
something, so I'm not blind.  Then somewhere along the line, Betsy said she
could no longer sustain the denial and the shame.  She embraced her
blindness as a natural part of life, and she applied her many talents
towards making a better life for those who follow her.  Betsy will be
missed, and she and her family deserve our best thoughts and prayers.
