Memories of Petrified Forest and Painted Desert

Fifty-years is a very short time in the millions of years it took to make the Petrified woods in the forest and the gorgeous colors in the desert, fifty-years is a lifetime for a human.   In the summer of 1974, Albert and Betty also visited Petrified Forest and Painted Desert.  Here are some photos of me in my 20s.  Yes, that's the young Betty Chu before having rabbits.  That's the Betty Chu who was in the early stage of her teaching career, that's the Betty Chu who was completing a one-year assignment at California State University at Long Beach and going to San Jose State University to start a tenure track career.   Young and without rabbits, traveling around was not an issue.
