Always remember, if you ever go looking for your heart's desire again, don't look any further than your own back yard. Because if it isn't there, you never really lost it to begin with... or some such nonsense.
Anyway, I hope you have a great 80th birthday!

Happy birthday Bev! Our families have been together my entire life and we have so many wonderful memories together. Pumpkin pies, camping trips, piñatas and parties, our Europe trip, and just being together when we needed each other. You’ll always be a second mom to me and I love you! I can’t wait to celebrate with all of you. Love, Jenny, Dave, Jamie and Haley

The fog rolls in
Under the Golden Gate,
And, spreading her fingers wide,
She reaches out to touch
Every nook and cranny of the City.

Enveloping all, she covers them
With a blanket of refreshing dew.

I walk out at twilight,
Reach out my hand,
And greet the moist fingers of fog
Which surround me.

When I had children, life became a scarier place. It was like my heart was walking (or crawling) around outside of my body in two little souls and I felt ill-equipped. The one thing I could take comfort in was the knowledge, without a doubt, that their grandparents loved them as much as I did. Thank you for loving my girls. For baking Bri’s first birthday cake, for being there to read alongside Lacie as she developed her fantastic love of books. Thank you for writing to them and for finding so many ways to show them you’re always thinking of them through email, digital advent calendars, magazines, and wordle. Thank you for being their grandma. Happy birthday Bev! We love you!

Happy 80th birthday to you! 🎂

I must confess that took me a lot of time to come up with some good writing...and yet nothing astonishing came up. And I realized that's because you are such a wonderful, beautiful, marvelous person that only who had the chance to be around you understand truly. And words can't describe how grateful I am to be given the chance to be one of this person.
A had a home stay with you, Walt and the kids back in 1981 and that changed my life, for better.
Seeing you again in December 2019 was wonderful.....and I regret could not done that earlier...
So, for your birthday I wish you all the best, with lot of healthy and a long journey yet to came so maybe our paths cross again soon.
More than celebrating such a beautiful 80th anniversary you should be full of pride. For all the way you traveled and how strong, dignifieng way you did all that you've done.
I remember the music My Way......and as I listening to it in my mind... I think of you, with a warm heart , a lot of love and "muitas saudades".....
Love you......
Happy birthday.

I was probably 12 or so and dropped by on my way home from clay class with this creation. You were such the proud mom that you made me pose with it. My parents had a lot of great qualities but documenting a seemingly small moment like this was not one of them.

In so many ways you were my second mom, teaching me things and showing love in ways my own parents didn't. From cake decorating classes in early elementary school, to road trips in the Jolly Green Giant (turning the heat on over the Grapevine), to helping me navigate the world of musical theatre – you were such a big part of my formative years. Even now, I feel like I'm following in your footsteps – being a band parent!

Thanks for everything and have a most excellent birthday!

Love,
Kagi

I hardly remember it, but must have been fun, 'cause everyone I know is still speaking to me.  As you know, I just turned 82...I found it to be the new 81.  ENJOY! Thanks for all the great theater times, and your more than generous reviews. Love to a great lady, Clyde

Newman Inn – The Early Days  I came to Cal in the fall of 1961 to begin a year of grad school. Beverly West was then an 18 year old freshman and became one of my earliest friends at Newman Hall where we met. Walt Sykes, whom I actually met first while looking at the Newman bulletin board for lodging possibilities, likewise became a lifelong friend. I can’t remember all the things we did together that first semester. It was a rather wild and crazy time, but I particularly remember that for my birthday that fall, Bev took me to the San Francisco Symphony in “The City”. (Actually, I drove us in my ’50 Ford with the slipping clutch.) She knew I liked classical music and it was a wonderful experience! (Driving and parking on the hills of SF with a slippery clutch was also an experience.) Bev seemed to like to cook. I remember a lot of spaghetti and meat sauce for Sunday night suppers at Newman and also at Newman Inn, which was the name we attached to the old house which stood on the site which was to become the new Newman Hall Church. There is a picture, dated Feb 1962, somewhere else on this collage showing the young Bev West in her kitchen at Newman Inn where she cooked for and mothered numerous young male students. We all called her Mom, even though she was probably younger than any of us. I remember New Year’s Eve there when I sampled a little too much of my Grandma’s Trinidadian Rum Punch and had to spend the night on a couch in my suit and overcoat rather than drive home. Remember counting trees? Those were good times! The second semester was a different story. School was going badly and I was very depressed and feeling like a failure. But Bev, now all of 19, gave me some sage advice in a prayer from Blessed John Henry Newman. Oh My God, you have created me do some definite service. You have committed some work to me that you have not committed to another. I have my mission; I am a link in a chain, a bond of connection between persons. I will trust you, whatever, wherever I am. If I am in sickness, my sickness may serve you. If I am in perplexity, my perplexity may serve you. If I am in sorrow, my sorrow may serve you. You do nothing in vain. You know what you are about. Though friends be taken away, though I feel desolate, though my spirits sink, though my future is hidden from me, yet I will trust you, for you know what you are about. I ask not so much to see as to be used: through Christ our Lord. Amen. A friend in need is a friend indeed! Thank you, Bev. Love, Dick Nordsieck

Hello Mother -- you are a warm, wonderful, generous person who has touched so many lives in your 80 years.  Whether through your writing (I still remember how much my 5th grade teacher looked forward to notes from you), by opening your home to visitors from abroad or by giving your time, your talents, your energy and your money to any number of deserving causes or community endeavors.  You taught me how to cook, you helped me land my first restaurant job, you've shown your love and support at every phase of my entire lifetime.  I love you tons and wish you the very happiest of 80th birthdays...

“Give Our Regards to Bev Sykes!”
(To be enthusiastically sung to the tune of “Give My Regards to Broadway!”)

Give our regards to Bev Sykes!
Remember us in Davis, Cal.
Know that the gang whose paths have crossed with hers,
Is wishing we were there!
Whisper of how we’re yearning,
To mingle with the fun Sykes throng.
Give our regards to dearest Bev,
Hope you enjoy this Birthday Song!
Eighty is quite a milestone,
You well deserve the accolades.
Times spent with Bev leave lasting mem.o.ries,
Her friendship never fades.
Picture us both in top hats,
Now dancing with jazz hands and kicks.
Sending regards to dearest Bev,
Typed out with near precision clicks!
Happy 80 th Birthday to Bev, a genuine Star who continues to brighten all our lives!

Be sure to ask for seconds.  If they don't give you seconds right away just stare at them longingly, with the cutest expression on your face that you can muster, until they do!

If that doesn't work, start jumping up and down nonstop!  They love that!

Bev, the first time I saw you you had a little girl by your side, all excited because she was going to start piano lessons. To my great delight, she understood immediately the concept behind sight reading. And it went from there.  And for the most part, she’s sight-read her way through her lessons until she graduated. She took this ability with her when she picked up clarinets and saxophones 🎷.  And look at her now.

I watched your accomplishments through the next years, particularly reading your articulate show reviews. Made me jealous that you could see them all. And now we are both retired.

Enjoy being 80!

You opened my eyes to the world of Margaret Keane in the early 60s. I bought one of her prints and it hung in my dorm room at the University of Maryland from 1962 to 1963. It is called The Farmer’s Daughter. During that year, my roommate Molly and I stole the photograph of the star quarterback from the athletic building at Maryland. We hung it in our dorm room and then put the Farmer’s Daughter in front of it to hide it. Our little secret. At the end of the school year we returned the quarterback’s photograph to where it belonged. She came with me everywhere and now hangs in my bedroom in a place of honor.

You know what's another amazing thing about my mother? In 8th grade I spent a summer in Alaska, and in high school I spent a month going to school in Germany, and both times I was super homesick, and my mother wrote me a letter EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. And every one of them was a lively 500 word essay about the ins and outs of family life, and she found something entertaining to say every day. I didn't know she was honing her master craft. I was just happy to feel so loved.

As an adopted member of the Sykes family, I have many memories from sharing birthdays, retirements, weddings, Christmas, and other gatherings in Davis, Sacramento, Santa Barbara, Petaluma, and Tahoe with you.  I particularly remember my first Christmas in Davis.  Presents were handed out and opened one by one.  It was such a civilized method as contrasted to the frenzy of everyone opening as quickly as possible all at once which was my childhood experience.

Hope to see you soon!

Bev, from blogs (and blogs and blogs) to vlogs to all manner of social media, you are a fearless early adopter, a seasoned and relentless content generator, and an absolute inspiration.

Whenever I feel blog exhaustion coming on, I think of you and press on! Thank you for YEARS of entertaining writing.. you are AMAZEBALLS! With Love, Kari Peterson
