Don Delong carried this picture of Betty Barrett in his wallet throughout the War, and throughout his life. She sent it to him in a letter in 1943, whilst she was making $10 a week and paying 50 cents per week on the purchase of her new bike. The photo was taken in Riverview Park, Peterborough, Ontario, on the west bank of the Otonabee River, next to the zoo's water fowl enclosures.
