I'm so sorry to hear this. When I saw Betsy perform in 2000, I was pleased that she was so happy to be there -- she had had a tough summer in 1981.
It occurs to me that we've now lost both the first Angelo (Alan Fear) and the first Isabella from the first summer staging of MEASURE FOR MEASURE -- and both far too young, of course.
Thank you for letting us know, James.

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
