My friend and fellow Duty Manager, Bettie S., left every early this morning to continue her career with the USO in Balad, Iraq. Bettie was my roommate for about 6 months and I had grown to really admire her.
We had a small surprise farewell party at the Center and then Scott, Bettie and I went to PF Chang's for a goodbye dinner. That's three Americans eating in a Chinese restaurant at the mall in Kuwait with a waiter from Sri Lanka. Makes sense to me. Fortunately, we did not discuss at dinner why Bettie was able to relocate 3 weeks after her transfer was authorized and I had to wait 5 months after approval for my new assignment.
Good luck Bettie. I'll miss you.
