Beverly long-time resident of Clear Lake, IA Handicap Village where she was an accomplished Bell-ringer. Mentally retarded and a wonderful person. In 1998 she was living in a group home at 310 9th St., Charles City, IA 50616. Her half-sister, Pat, delivered her to the 1994 Braught family reunion in Des Moines, IA (Gene Braught returned her). In summer 1999 she won a race walking gold medal in the Iowa Special Olympics. I visited her at her half-sister's (Pat Peterson) home in Aug. 1999. She gave me one of her father's scout pins (Scouter Award medal) then, which I greatly treasure. At that time she was working part time at the local business run by handicapped people (similar to Good Will) and was very happy.
