Pam was three months old living in Arcadia, California when her father at age 26 was elected to Congress from the San Gabriel Valley and she moved with her parents to Washington, D.C. Growing up in the nation’s Capitol was an exciting experience! That is where her mother started writing about manners and how important they are in daily life. Her family moved back to California after her father served four terms and settled back in Arcadia. Pam and her mother, Phyllis Hillings, are co-authors of the book Manners-in-a-Minute: Dining. Pam has lived in the San Gabriel Valley for over 30 years and has been very involved in the community.
