Meet Betty
The Schiebout’s first began building trailers in 1941. Schiebout Manufacturing Co. was started in Grand Rapids, MI. in 1947. By 1966 they incorporated, to become Gem Industries Inc. At one time they were the number one selling travel trailer in MI., as well as one of the most popular travel trailers in the U.S.
Betty came to live with the Chiarito’s in August 2021.
She had been used as a rental unit for awhile near Salt Lake City, UT, and later was used as a “spare bedroom” outside a couple’s home.
Now Betty and Carol travel the United States gathering stories, sharing interviews on “Senior Moments” podcast, doing presentations and meeting amazing people.
They also offer events to celebrate aging for organizations, financial planners, senior centers and more…..
