Barely scratching the surface here of Betty’s life and
wisdom, we strongly urge you to attend one of her
programs at the Rosie the Riveter/WWII Home Front
National Historical Park, located at 1414 Harbour Way
South, Ste. #3000. Reservations must be made far in
advance. Call (510) 232-5050 x0 or visit nps.gov/rori.
We also urge you to visit Betty’s very active blog at
cbreaux.blogspot.com to read more of her unparalleled
journey. In recent years she’s been honored on the
same dais as John Legend, Kamala Harris, and President
Obama.
“I’m still having first-time experiences at 97,” she
exclaimed. “I can scarcely wait to get out of bed in the
morning! I can’t guess what my life would be even six
months from now, because that life is still unfolding.
And that life is good.”
