Not news that's easy to share, so thank you, James, for passing it along and for the promise of honoring her spirit this summer. I can still remember Betsy's Isabella, the intensity with which she filled that character. I can't say that I knew her that well, but you didn't have to to grasp how much Winedale meant to her, how deep in her bones it lived. Sad to know she's no longer with us.

Thank you for sharing...I can still picture her from the 2000 reunion performance. And hear her voice. Very sad, indeed.

Hello friends,

I am afraid I have to pass along some sad news about an old Winedaler.  Betsy Beyer Hadlock (summer 1981) died a couple of months ago in Dallas; her family posted this news on her Facebook page last week.  I really don't have too much information beyond what they state there.  My sister managed to find a police report indicating that she was found in her condo and the cause of death was listed as unknown.  Betsy had struggled a lot with mental illness for several years.

Betsy loved Shakespeare and Winedale as much as she loved anything in her life. I'm sure anyone who was in the 2000 reunion class with her will remember how much it meant to her. We will do something to memorialize her this summer at Winedale.  Tomorrow would have been her birthday, so please have her in your thoughts.

Thanks,
James
