I love scrabble, email, walking (very, very long distances), political agitating, New York Super Fudge Chunk, hellraising. And I also enjoy a good date -- of the dried fruit variety.
Music
I liked the Beatles, and loved Bing Crosby and the crooners and romantic singers of the 30's. I loved to dance and did a great deal of ball-room dancing to the sound of the big bands in the 20's and 30's. I've also learned a couple raps.
Movies
Favorite movie of all time: Katharine Hepburn and Bogie in The African Queen'. Loved dramas and historical themes, and mystery stories.
Heroes
Peace Pilgrim, MLK, Dennis Burke, Jim Haddock, Ghandi, Mandela, Jimmy Carter

I am a 97 year old runt of a woman, who, at my tallest was 5'3, but have shrunk down to 5'. I try to stand tall, but there just is no give to me. A sculpteress in Chicago decided she would call me 'the striver' because I walk with my head ahead of my body. I have grey hair, cut short, brown eyes, and the usual arms and legs. The legs are good and sturdy, having walked so many miles, and they have stood up to what I demanded of them (they held me well when I walked across America at the age of 90!). Now I try to walk two miles before breakfast, but if it is raining I use it as an excuse to sleep late! I have a flash temper, followed immediately with pleas of forgiveness. I am generally pretty solemn and giggle more than I laugh. I am intensely curious and I find each day of my life an adventure -- which gets me into some challenging situations, such as becoming the Democratic Nominee to U.S. Senate in New Hampshire when I was 94. Politics is my passion, I'm an activist and have been fighting for campaign finance reform. I have 16 great grandchildren and I want them to grow up in a democracy that I would be proud of, rather than the current corrupt mess in D.C.

N.H. State Representative Betty Hall Announces Public Hearing to Petition Congress for Impeachment
New Hampshire Representative Betty Hall Announces Expert Witnesses to testify at Legislative Hearing for House Resolution 24 to Commence Impeachment Procedures in the US Congress.
Representative Hall's focus on House Resolution 24 begins the process of Impeachment for the President and the Vice President at the State level. In the State of New Hampshire, the procedure then goes to committee for a public hearing. Rep. Hall welcomes the public to attend and comment at a rally and a hearing:
Rally: 12 Noon Tuesday, February 19 at the State House Plaza.
Hearing: 1:00 pm Tuesday, February 19 at the State Legislative Office Building, Rooms 305 and 307.
Key to New Hampshire's legislative process is a strong committee recommendation for passage in the full House. Because the committee level is crucial, Representative Hall has invited a number of expert witnesses to testify on five distinct articles of impeachment. Witnesses will include Selectman Dan DeWalt VT, Herb Hoffman ME NEImpeach.org, John Kaminski Maine Lawyers for Democrac,y and Paul Lehto, a lawyer representing Election Integrity.
Uniquely for NH citizens, every bill introduced and sent to committee receives a vote in the full House. In NH there are 400 House legislators from a relatively small population state. In order for HR24 to be brought to Washington DC, only House passage is needed, neither a vote in the Senate nor a signature from the Governor is needed to send the petition to the US Congress.
Representative Hall has worked tirelessly to make sure the people's voice is heard in New Hampshire. The committee hearing serves as an opportunity for the public to become involved, expressing the voice of a true democracy
Happy Birthday, Beloved. From the time we met on the sands beneath the Santa Monica pier, to this moment, I have revered who you are & what you do. Much love to you, Craig
Thank you for adding me Granny D. I remember seeing you walking on Route 3 in Pembroke when you ran for office. I voted for you. I wish you were my grammy, you're so cool. Have a great holiday. Lots of Love, Ronda in Concord
