Write Now – Every Monday at 11:30 am (produced by Village Television), hosted by Video Club member Charlie Redner with co-host Judy Saxon,
In June, the half-hour “Write Now” show will interview resident Judy Sterrett Rizzo, a retired nurse who is in the final stage of preparing her autobiographical manuscript for publishing. Judy’s story includes working as a psychiatric nurse in the ER (think “Chicago Med”) and as a consultant with the FBI during hostage negotiations. She came to the Village from Michigan and loves both Michigan football teams, having attended the University of Michigan as well as Michigan State. She’s a member of the Aquadettes and was active with the Laguna Woods Audubon Society before it disbanded. She also dotes over a cockatoo named Caruso. Well-traveled, Judy recently returned from a trip to China, and her many other interests and hobbies constantly keep her on the go.
