Bev Cameron Retires

Paragon recently celebrated the retirement of Beverly Cameron, Paragon’s HR director for some two decades. The gathering was filled with delicious cuisine, a commemorative cake and several nostalgic tokens of appreciation for one of Paragon’s longest tenured employees. Several of Bev’s longtime coworkers shared stories and kind words about the outgoing resident problem solver. Perhaps none were more stirring than President Joe Morabito’s heartfelt speech where he eloquently intimated just what Bev has meant to Paragon over the years, but more importantly, to him as a friend. Also speaking on behalf of Bev was coworker and longtime friend Donna Jacques. On this day, Jacques was supposed to be “roasting” Bev; however the roast soon turned into a fun exercise in all-around teasing and laughing, much to the delight of the on-looking RSM attendees.

“I volunteered to roast Bev because, let’s be honest; we don’t get many chances to publicly make fun of fellow employees. Not only did I have a chance to poke fun at Bev, but because of their long term history together, I was able to add a few punch lines about Joe Morabito and not be accused of insubordination! Who could pass up that kind of opportunity?” Jacques kidded. “In all seriousness though, Bev is always quick to laugh and it was a pleasure to share silly stories about her. Smiles and kind words were something that came naturally to her and I’ll miss seeing her at Paragon.”
