<<  I would like to know the recommended distance between
 beds, trying to keep it at a minimum, yet still allowing for some comfort
 while working. I am in my sixties and comfort is getting to be more and
 more desirable.
 Also, is it possible to have a different ph level in the different beds?

I think that depend on the substance you have on the ground between the beds.
If you leave grass there, make sure you have room to run a lawnmower easily
between the beds,  if you use mulch or stone its not a problem, I would
suggest three feet at least, four is better.  Thats comfortable for me. If
you plan to push a wheelbarrow or garden cart between them, leave yourself
room to maneuver.  I am sure that the pH can change, based on the amendments
and what the different plants take out of the soil. Thats an interesting
question, perhaps a pH meter (many seed catalogs sell them inexpensively )
can help you keep track and deal with the changes as needed. Just my opinion,
I am sure there are many good ways to do this and your needs and space will
ultimately dictate whats best for you....
Good luck!
