Geneva "Bitt" Hatcher and I were classmates at BCHS. We had English, P.E., and History together. We laughed a lot and played "speed" and "spades" during our breaks. We were inducted into the National Honor Society together. And I remember that she was a good softball player. Wow!!! The class of 1978 is getting smaller. Our 50th reunion is coming up soon and our Geneva will be absent. All my hopes, good wishes and prayers go out to her family. She was a good friend; a good person and she will be missed.
-Always, Wilma
