Occupation(s), Career Details

No particular occupation. A few secretarial jobs and dabbled in real estate after divorce. I remarried and for the last thirty years I have been writing. I have completed a large historical novel and for the past eleven years I have written for a magazine of Arcitecture and Design, "California Homes." Four of my short stories were dramatized on the stage in Beverly Hills, CA. I have Edited and published memoirs of two people, each of whom wanted to tell about making a fortune from the ground up. Now taking stories from Polish survivors of WWII to make a book.
P.S. My novel is "Chimera's Waltz" by Bibi Brock Davis and is available now only from me. It is an historical novel set in Santa Ana and the Philippine Islands during the Spanish/American war--1898.

Different places I have lived

Los Angeles, South Pasadena, Orange County, Laguna Beach for ten years, now in Laguna Niguel.

Family history living in South Pasadena

I lived in So. Pas. for my high school years. Then lived on campus at U.S.C. Came back to live in SP
then moved to San Marino briefly then to Orange County. My family lived for a while in SP on Monterey Road and Fremont Ave.

Family members who also went to SPHS

My cousin, Martha Ruddell (McPherson, Ulmschneider) went through the whole school system and graduated 1951. Martha passed away 5/23/09.

My son, Christopher Moses graduated from SMHS in '69 and now lives with his family in New Orleans and Mexico.
My son, Duff Moses, lives in Santa Monica with his family. He went to Huntington school in ther early sixties but attended high school in L.A.

The only person from SPHS I have seen, but not recently, is Nancy Beamer Hall '43. Her husband, Bert died and she married John Gerril and lived in Hawaii, but now is in a care home in California.
Also, after moving to Orange County I became reaquainted with Nancy Brooks Bowman. '43

After SPHS, I went to USC - joined Gamma Phi Beta Sorority.

Milestones & Epiphanies

I got to have two big weddings!

Pastimes & Hobbies

I write, write, write. (and play bridge)

Favorite Music, Songs, Bands

I'll always remember Glenn Miller's "In the Mood," at the end when it seemed like it was over, but we who knew, danced on in silence, until a few beats later, it took up again to finish up. That was a big exciting deal in high school!

[Date] What's happening in my life now

Jan. 1, 2014
Writing the stories of Polish Survivors of Occupation and Deportation in WWII

I have been going by the name Bibi for the last 35 years for complicated reasons. Been married for 30 years to second husband, Boyd. I wrote for a magazine of home decor for eleven years, have written a novel, edited two biographies and currently taking down the stories for a book about Polish people who survived deportation and strife, wandering the globe to find a new home in WWII.
My husband was president of a large organizatioin, SASS, for Cowboy Shooting so I learned to shoot and dress up like a lady of the 1800's. Other than that I play bridge and watch Netflix and write.
Unfortunately I lost my husband, Boyd, to Degenerative Heart Disease last November.

One last comment...

Love to hear from anyone who remembers me. bbdavisco@aol.com Put "South Pas" in the subject line in case I don't recognize the name and delete it.

The photo I put into my homepage was supposed to be small, but I'm not too good with any technicalities on the computer to return it to proper size so there it is blaring big as life. Sorry about that.
