Bev is co-founder of the dance troupe ReBellyon and sings the praises of belly dancing. “More than just providing great exercise, dancing is lots of fun, improves right/left side brain coordination and provides a sense of community.”   One of Bev’s favorite comedies is Nacho Libre. It stars Jack Black and is about a luchador (wrestler). The town and people in the movie fondly remind Bev of the rural Mexican pueblo where she lived and volunteered as a health care provider. Her favorite quote from the movie is, “Let’s get down to the nitty gritty.”  

Her favorite inspirational quote: “Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.” —Margaret Mead
