What a privilege to have known Pat for many years when she played for the North Adams Fall Foliage pageant to all the years we worked together at Williams College. Pat brought a smile to everyone's face. When Judy awoke from cancer surgery Pat was next to the bed having gone thru it herself. We can't say enough about what a special lady she was.
