FOUR SEASONS BREEZE | AUGUST 2025 15 Nevada, and California; and teaching accident investigation and grievance handling classes. I also served as a Transportation Commissioner for my city and an Executive Board Member of the San Diego/Imperial Counties Labor Council and the San Diego Industrial Relations Research Association. After 22 years of union work and considerable burnout, I changed careers and became a Deputy Labor Commissioner for the State of California. I was able to help balance the injustice for workers in the state and collect well-earned wages. I also served as an auditor for several departments and went undercover to investigate internal fraud in the Elevator, Ride, and Tramway Unit, a division of OSHA. At 50 I joined an all female rock band. We called ourselves Girls Gone Band. Everyone but me was an LPGA Golf Pro. A simple garage band — we played the San Diego private party circuit. I played bass and sang with them for about eight years. I moved to Four Seasons four years ago with my best friend, Buffy, on a Friday. Saturday, I joined the shuffleboard group. I also started playing pickleball, sang at Karaoke, and joined the Social Committee and the Wine Club. I realized that my previous years of DJ experience, doing lights and sound, had prepared me for the Performing Arts Club and creating Name That Tune Games! I love how music is a great unifier and brings so many groups of residents together. My favorite is how everyone waves and smiles when walking or driving by. We have so many wonderful people here and I enjoy everything. I found a small group of fun-loving friends and like-minded peeps to share my life with. How lucky are we to live in a community where everybody knows your name? Well maybe not your name but your dog's … I feel like I am living my best life. THANK YOU, BEAUMONT!
