Lauretta (Retz) Reeves
A native of Oakdale, PA, Retz Reeves accepted a job in Florida, a state she had never seen, over the phone. She moved to Miami the following weekend with not much more than a bikini and a bottle of suntan lotion. Hurricane David teased the Florida coastline the next Saturday. Undeterred, Retz pursued her investment career during the day and studied microbiology and business at night. After almost a decade of no sleep, Retz finally graduated from Florida International University, after which she obtained her MBA from Nova Southeastern University, married Randy Reeves and started adopting stray animals—or the animals adopted them. When she's not traipsing around the world looking for investments for Hansberger Global Investors, Retz enjoys working and living in South Florida and the Florida Keys with Randy, some of their critters introduced in “Adopted Paws.” and a few more who strayed into their lives. |
Adopted Paws
Synopsis: Eight years after moving to South Florida, Retz met Randy Reeves, and Bo-Jo -his adopted Chow chow. Taking place in South Florida and the Florida Keys, Adopted Paws is the story of the animals they adopted - Bo-Jo, Lucky, Petey, Samantha, Cali and the heroine of the story, Molly, who was a victim of feline AIDS - and other animals who ran through their life and sometimes into their neighbor's yard.
