I always liked Bea. She was uniformly cheerful and friendly. By way of coincidence, I now live in Washington State, my older son lives in Northern Virginia, and my younger son graduated from the University of Southern California and worked there for 10 years in the Cinema School.
I got the following from the Cleveland Jewish News archive Jan 23, 1998. The original was a scan of the actual newspaper article. I could not figure out how to cut and paste it so I transcribed it as best as I could.
