Sorry to hear about Bev´s passing. She gave my first ever waitressing job. No training involved. I started on a Friday night. She handed me a pad and pencil and said "you have every other table-choices are spaghetti or frys-French or Italian. I made $55 which was a lot in those days. Thus began my wild ride at The Old Venice...I miss that place. My condolences to all of you.
