From:
East Liverpool,

Convention City:
Berkeley, California
Organized
in the fall of 1959,
The Heathertones'
first performance
was at a Sweet Adelines
regional meeting
in Sharon, Pennsylvania.
Within six months
the group had won
its regional contest
and placed fifth
at the international
competition in Detroit.
Two years later
The Heathertones
placed second at
the international
contest in Toronto,
and finally, in
1963, won gold medals
in Berkeley, California.
The quartet was
able to make the
trip to California
through the generosity
of their East Liverpool
Chapter of Sweet
Adelines (whose
chapter show was
a success and netted
$500 for the quartet
fund), the East
Liverpool Chapter
of SPEBSQSA, and
Sweet Adelines'
Region 14. The quartet
retired in 1967.
Betty Pettibon is
still an active
member of Sweet
Adelines and recently
retired as director
of the Greater Harrisburg
Chorus, a frequent
regional champion
and international
competitor.
