Betsy Phillips turns 105 years young this year on the 13th of May. It has been such a great pleasure to get to know Betsy throughout the last five years, having first interviewed her in her home on the occasion of her 100th year birthday celebration. Often when I think of this delightful lady, I am reminded of that lovely song "Maria" from the "Sound of Music" and the lyrics, "How do you hold a moonbeam in your hand?"

Throughout the years, I have listened to many stories. I remember asking, what advice would you like to share looking back on the years...
