Sally Bethea earned her MCP from Georgia Tech in 1980, and has spent the past 20 years passionately protecting the Chattahoochee River. \u201cIt\u0027s been quite a ride -- peaks, valleys and everything in between,\u201d says Bethea. \u201cNever a dull moment, ever. Much to celebrate, things to cry over, but along the way it\u0027s just given me an opportunity to grow and to learn and to hopefully connect a lot more people to this river, because that\u0027s what it\u0027s all about.
