Guest guest Posted November 29, 2002 Report Share Posted November 29, 2002 n, Isn't it interesting about names? I was born a Betty in Alabama and was a football fanatic all my life. I played backyard fb until I was old enough to decide I preferred other contact sports with the guys. Then in mid and high school our fb team was state champs almost every year. That developed into watching college fb on tv. Then the move....when I moved to Texas I could not understand why no-one but me was looking for the Alabama fb games on tv---they were all looking for the local Texas teams! I started a new job working with another Betty. Since she had been there longer, I was the " new " Betty and that left " old " Betty for her. Since she was several years older the me, I was also dubbed with the name " new " Betty and she was still stuck with " old " Betty. She was laughing about me trying to find Alabama college football games on tv and we were talking about how great a coach Bear was when the light bulb went off in her head. There was a show on tv at the time called " BJ and the Bear " -----and the rest is history!!! I was called BJ and the Alabama football coach was my Bear~~ta-dah! It was after I moved back to Alabama that my nephews started calling me---------Aunt B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
