Bev Pizzano was raised in a small Italian neighborhood in East Boston, Massachusetts. Her family, as well as the Dominican nuns, tried their best to instill in her a sense of “grace and poise.” She still chuckles at their lofty ideals. Shifting from her need for independence and her roaming nature, she settled into a career in human resources. Now retired, she feels she has spent most of her time teaching people how to get along. For the past thirty years, Bev has been an advocate for the elderly. She first started by visiting residents at nursing homes and then as a board member of adult day centers in Washington. Currently, Bev volunteers at an adult day club where she entertains and educates her captive audience. Since moving to Arizona, Bev has written an annual newsletter highlighting how she survives life in the desert, and more importantly, how she survives life in retirement. Her friends and family have suggested writing a book. She has obliged us.
