Here's the latest about 1921's new bride, Betty, Mrs. Herman George McMillan. Hermie met her in November 1962, and they were married Jan. 19, 1963. Quiet and retiring, she comes from an old Philadelphia family, owns a home in Paoli, Pa., and a second home on Casey Key, Fla., where she and Hermie are living permanently. Over the years, interested in architecture, Betty has designed and built five houses of her own of which she has kept two. Educated in the Springside School, Chestnut Hill, Pa., she, when young, lived abroad with her parents. Foreseeing inevitable trouble in Africa, she on her own travelled extensively on that continent in the late nineteen forties. Born in Philadelphia Oct. 17, 1908, she is 12 years younger than Hermie. Aged 27, she married William George Gerhard from whom she was divorced in 1948. Before meeting, Betty and George had no thought of remarrying ... and then something happened ... and now they are happy.
