While she probably doesn’t remember me, I know Betty Wiseman<\/a>. She’s an amazing woman–she’s kind with a big heart for people. When I was at Belmont University, Ms. Wiseman was the Women’s Basketball Coach as well as the Square Dance Instructor. That’s how I knew her. She taught me how to dosado<\/em> and rip & snort<\/em>. I loved that class, not because i was a natural at square dancing, but because Coach Betty was an infectious person to be around.<\/p>\n

But Betty? She’s the best Betty I know…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
