Betty Tatham: Hello. My name is Betty Tatham. I was born in Europe and my name was Elizabeth Teiss. Teiss is a Hungarian last name and Elizabeth was spelled with an "s" and without an "h." I came to America with my parents and two younger sisters when I was 14 years old. English was my second language, and I had difficulty pronouncing the "th" in Elizabeth. So my Aunt Barbara suggested that I choose Betty as my nickname.

I met Win Tatham when we were 16 and 17 years old. Years later, after we were married, I became Betty Tatham. Thank you.
