Betty Caffey
It is our sad duty to relay to you the following information:
Dear
SATCO and theatre community,
Jimmy
Caffey just called Pat Wells to say that his mother, Betty
Caffey had passed away. Betty was for many many years the prop
lady for all shows at SALT (now San Pedro Playhouse). Jimmy
wanted the word to get out to the theatre community. He will let
Pat know when and where the services are. Just wanted to let all
of you know. More details as I know them. If you would, please
pass this info. on to any theatre person you know. All of us
have our favorite "Betty stories". But I especially want all of
us to be there for Jimmy.
