FEATURES Regaining her balance For those of you who remember Betty Ann Wegener Elliott as a part of the class of 1956 (she graduated from CSG), there was an inspiring three-part article in The Columbus Dispatch this spring about her heroic fight to save her right leg from amputation as a result of atherosclerosis. Over seven months, Betty Ann’s surgeon struggled to save her leg, trying two grafts to reroute the blood through plastic tubes. They didn’t work and on December 28, 2005, in a 20-minute operation, he amputated her leg 3 inches below the knee. The three-part series chronicled her progress in learning to walk again. Her 50-year class reunion at Columbus School for Girls was in late April and she vowed to walk in on two legs.
