I would like to congratulate my wife Betty for her selection along with four other San Diego women as Legendary Women of the Heart by the local chapter of the American Heart Association. I unfortunately was unable to attend the Go Red for Women luncheon on Friday where the awards were presented, but from what I understand it was quite an event with many presentations and a fashion show put on by Zandra Rhodes.
The other four women honored were Marye Anne Fox, Joan Jacobs, Jeanne Jones, and Darlene Shiley. The idea behind the Go Red for Women campaign is to publicize the fact that heart disease is the #1 killer of women and that more research is desperately needed.
I have included some photos from the event, including the five honorees, Betty and the rest of my family, and Zandra Rhodes.

Dr. Beyster – I’m just looking at this site for the first time – prompted by a long conversation with a colleague about the changes in SAIC over the past 8 years. I read your recent posts and was not surprised to see your views and insights on important issues so clearly current and on-point. In particular, though, was my delight in seeing these great pictures of Betty (and one of Mary Ann) – thanks for posting!
Best regards to you, sir.
Bob: Nice hearing from you after so many years. You made a great contribution to SAIC while you were there and I feel a great debt to you. Thank you. — Bob
