Bertha was an amazing woman with an endless wealth of practical solutions!

Bertha D. Reese. "Bea" (May 12, 1920 - Dec 16, 2010) was a graduate of Pacific School for Dental X-Ray Technicians and Assistants in San Francisco, Calif. Bea was a veteran of World War II. She served in the U.S. Navy W.A.V.E.S., Medical/Dental Corps, Sand-point Naval Air Station in Seattle, Wash. She and the dental assistant staff members at the Dispensary Dental Clinic were among the first contingent of W.A.V.E. volunteers to complete basic training at Hunter College in New York City. In commemoration of the occasion, then-first lady Eleanor Roosevelt honored the graduating class with a speech thanking the first contingent of volunteers. An honor that remains in Bea's legacy.

She first got the passion for cooking as a child from her mom Amelia Toroni. When she left the country for city life as a young adult, to pursue a career in San Francisco, a copy of the family cookbook containing all her favorite recipes was tucked into her luggage before she left. Through the years, the well-used recipe book remained a faithful companion to her.

Bertha never had the opportunity to publish her book. On the last day of her life, at the Good Samaritan nursing home in Arizona, she spoke about the book which she wrote with such an incredible amount of detail in numerous folders, chapter by chapter, from A to Z and all in her clear and well formed handwriting.

The book is printed in two volumes. It is available at Amazon.com
