Last summer, Betty Anne finished her 42-year career as a music educator, researcher, and administrator as Dean and Professor of Music Education at The University of Western Ontario. Previous to the Western appointment she taught at the University of Michigan, University of Prince Edward Island and in schools in Newfoundland and Prince Edward Island.

She, with her husband Dale Inder, can now spend an extensive amount of time at their cottage on the South Shore and return to Ontario ‘sometime in the fall’.
