Beverly Almond - An Ageless Adventurer

By Beverly Hamlin

Looking at Beverly Almond, a ninety-seven-year-old woman living in Massachusetts, you wouldn't necessarily guess that she was at the center of the British government's code breaking efforts at Bletchley Park during World War II. Born into a world of glamour and wealth in 1918, Beverly decided to forsake the comfortable trappings of home and set out to make a difference in the world. Never one to take the easy route, she boarded a ship headed to wartime England and, once onboard, met Harry Almond-the man who would one day become her husband. At the end of the war, they were married, and together took on a life of service to the Middle East. Both of Beverly's children were born there, and the family spent many years in the region. Based on letters and family papers, Beverly Almond's adventures come to life through the words of her daughter-words that engage and inspire others to step out of their comfort zones to live a life less ordinary in pursuit of service and adventure.
