Betty Berg Obituary‏

Betty Afton Hogan Berg drew her last breath on May 31, 2016 in Round Rock, Texas at age 92. Betty was born on January 31, 1924 in Hatch, Idaho to parents Alma Nelson Hogan and Elizabeth Myers Lloyd Hogan. Betty was the eldest of 5 children.

Betty became profoundly deaf at age 5 from a formidable foe, Spinal Meningitis and would have to learn to walk again. This took over 2 years and she entered the Idaho School for the Deaf at age 8. At 15, she read the book, “Gone with the Wind” and wrote a letter to author Margaret Mitchell asking if there would be a sequel. Betty was bookish and this served her well in life. Graduating in 1941, she headed off on a train with a full scholarship to attend Gallaudet College in Washington, D.C. She travelled the train in a car full of American soldiers heading East. Assuredly, she was the topic of conversation aboard the Union Pacific as she was striking in personality, looks and spirit. She was in for a complete culture shock once she set foot on the streets of our nation’s capitol.

Awe-inspiring Georgian architecture, massive monuments, and big buildings were all new territory for this courageous cowgirl. The academic program at Gallaudet included Latin and she immersed herself in her studies and social activities—this was against the backdrop of a country still reeling from the Great Depression and awash in awe-inspiring patriotism during World War II.

Soon, she met a smart and reserved Montana boy, Thomas Olof Berg at a dance at Gallaudet and it was love at first sight for both. She was struck by how he comported himself as a gentleman. Tom said that Betty was “saucy” like his favorite cinema actress, Susan Hayward. They married on June 6, 1945. They balanced one another out, and together, they taught in two residential schools for the deaf, Maryland and Idaho. Later, Tom took a job as Assistant Dean of Students and Head Track Coach at Gallaudet College in 1956, and their growing family drove their 1956 Ford Fairlane from Idaho to the D.C. area. Betty was a stay-at-home mom for many years. Later, she would become a fixture at Gallaudet University in the Department of Sign Communication and taught sign language.

From the 1960’s through the 80’s, Betty would teach hundreds of students—some included a couple of U.S. Congressmen, past presidents of Gallaudet, parents of deaf children, and late deafened adults. One of her proudest achievements was teaching a young Army veteran who had recently lost his hearing to a bomb blast in Viet Nam. She helped this PTSD survivor in a significant way. Having two sons in the Navy (Fred) and Army (Dave) during that tumultuous era and knowing the costs of any war were particularly poignant for Betty. Especially then. In 1973 she started teaching sign language in the public school system. She retired from Parkdale High School in 1986 having inspired many young students to pursue careers in deaf education, interpreting, etc. Betty was there at its genesis when sign language instruction was gaining momentum and traction. Today, American Sign Language has risen to great prominence and meets the criteria of a foreign language credit in many high schools across the country.

Betty had no artificial persona. She took people at face value and saw beyond labels, class distinction, and background. She was a “people person” to her core. Part of her calling card was her authenticity. Known for her fire, loyalty, intelligence and her fun loving nature, Betty’s pioneer heritage was strong. She held true to her core values and beliefs throughout her life never caving or knuckling under pressure to conform to anything that did not ring true to her. Her parents forged a fruitful life and were proud cattle ranchers of the BAR ON located on the Oregon Trail. Through determination and grit, it was one of the nicest ranches in Southeastern Idaho.
Betty loved the rugged beauty of the Mountain West. She recalled instances when her father would ask her to join him on cattle drives and she went along with great joy coming back from each long ride caked with trail dust. When asked recently if she was a proud Idahoan, she exclaimed with steely and squinted blue-grey eyes, “you bet I am!” Her life force was full of verve and her laugh was infectious to the ear and eye. She was a tremendous helpmate to her wonderful husband, Tom, and was a beloved teacher and friend to many.

Clearly, the centerpiece of Betty’s life were her family. Survivors include her beloved children Frederick, David and Jennifer. Daughters-in-Law include Chris and Rosario. Grandchildren are Sarah, Erika, David and Trina. Great grandchildren are Levi, and twins Owen and Braxton, her sisters Joyce Bowles (George), Mary Anne Yorgason (Kendall) and Susanne Eliason(Peter). She is predeceased by her beloved brother, Bill and her loving and faithful husband, Tom. Her earthly departure leaves a big hole in our hearts, but we know we shall see her again.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the your local animal shelter or the Veterans of Foreign Wars (vfw.org ) in her memory. Services under the direction of Sims Funeral Services, Soda Springs, Idaho (208) 547-3742). Funeral will be held at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day-Saints in Bancroft, Idaho on June 18, 2016 at 12:00 p.m. with internment to follow in Chesterfield, Idaho. Rudyard Kipling’s poem “If for Girls” was her guiding light for 75 years; it hung proudly in the original frame by her bedside since she was a teen. Go sweetly, Betty Afton. Psalms 23.

It’s a Wrap for 2014 Indoor Track & Field Season

Congratulations to all the athletes who excelled at their indoor performances and look forward to their outdoor performances this spring!

Craig Saalfeld, 2013 Summer Deaflympics decathlon gold medalist, upped his old indoor heptathlon American record. During the 2-day indoor heptathlon event on January 31/February 1 held at Seward, Nebraska, for the Concordia Classic, Craig finished 1st place with 5,238 points. His seven individual performances were: 60m: 7.25, LJ: 6.39m (20′ 11 ¾”), SP: 12.51m (41′ 0 ½”), HJ: 2.00m (6′ 6 ¾”), 60m H: 8.42, PV: 4.30m (14′ 1 ¼”), and 1000m: 2:51.73. Craig’s previous American indoor heptathlon record was 5,175 points which was held at Warrensburg, Missouri, for the MIAA Indoor Championships on February 27/28, 2009. His seven individual performances at that time was: 60m: 7.26, LJ: 6.78m (22′ 3″), SP: 11.14m (36′ 6 ¾”), HJ: 2.04m (6′ 8 ¼”), 60m H: 8.51, PV: 3.63m (11′ 10 ¾”), and 1000m: 2:41.90

MaKenzie Hageman, 2013 Summer Deaflympics 4x100m silver medalist, had transferred to Northern State University from Dakota Wesleyan University and is in her 2nd year of college. MaKenzie broke both American and Collegiate indoor records in the 60m and 200m dash. In the 60m, she ran with best time at 7.82 seconds on February 28 in Bemidji, Minnesota, for the NSIC Championships. The previous 60m was also owned by her last year with time of 7.90 held at Lincoln, Nebraska for the GPAC Championships on February 16. In the 200m, she ran her best time at 25.85 seconds during the Nebraska Tune-Up meet in Lincoln on February 21. The old indoor 200m was set by MaKenzie with the time of 26.16 also at the GPAC Championships.

Taylor Koss, 2013 Summer Deaflympics 4x100m gold medalist, is in his first year in college at University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. He broke the indoor American and Collegiate record in the 600m. His best time was clocked at 1:23.53 on January 17 in Milwaukee for the John Tierney Triangular meet. The previous record was held by Brandon Kenny of St. Lawrence University with time of 1:25.36 which was held on February 21, 2009 at Ithaca, New York, for the Marc Deneault memorial Invitational Meet. Taylor also performed other indoor events in the 60m and 400m dash. His best time in 60m was 7.31 seconds and 50.78 in the 400m.

Vianney Boum-Yamb continues to lower his 60m dash time and re-wrote Gallaudet University’s indoor 55m record. His best 60m time was 6.99 clocked at SU Open in Selinsgrove, Pennsylvania, hosted by Susquehanna University on February 22. Vianney also lowered his indoor 200m time at 23.63 seconds which was also held at Selinsgrove for the Crusader Classic on February 8.

Missouri School for the Deaf participated their annual indoor meet at Mule Relays in Warrensburg on March 25. Two athletes from that school had broken three indoor Prep Deaf School records.

Gunner Hahn, a senior at Wisconsin School for the Deaf, had a banner day at Wisconsin Track & Field Association State Indoor Championships in Whitewater this past weekend. He received his personal indoor best in the 55m hurdles with time of 8.49 seconds during Semi-Finals round. Gunner improved 0.13 seconds from the 1st round in which his time was 8.62. With his personal best time, he almost broke the 9-year old Prep Deaf School record set by Terrell Sumers of Louisiana with a time of 8.41.
