Actually, it might be possible. It depends on the order of the 
partitions on the drive.

Open Disk Utility and click on the drive on the left side. You should 
see a Partition tab on the right side. Select the Partition tab. The 
order of the partitions will show in the graphic. If the 20 GB is the 
last one, you are in luck.

The last partition can be removed and then the 2nd partition can be 
enlarged to accommodate that unallocated space. If the last partition 
is the 20 GB, then you can copy that partition to the 60 GB 
partition, and then delete the 20 GB and enlarge the 2nd partition.

Don't tell any big lies today. Small ones can be just as effective.
