My connection with Pat began when our older daughter started kindergarten at Roosevelt. We were living in Hyde Park in those days. Pat was a strong principal who treated her children with genuine affection. To be candid, some staff found her intimidating! I think Pat mellowed with the years, as many of us do. I saw her frequently in the bar area of Prairie Dunes. I was lounging and she was coming in after a round of golf. My last lengthy talk with her was while we were waiting for car service at Conklin's. We talked mostly about education--no surprise there. Pat went "on the circuit" for a time after she retired, and I recall hearing a very interesting presentation about individual differences. What struck with me was learning about my optimum productivity times of day. I should have known: test showed that I should probably just go to bed with a cold compress on my head in the afternoons. I love both morning and night, both exciting, but afternoons have always seemed dull to me! Remembering Pat in that learning context makes me smile! Thank you, Letty, and Happy New Year. mbAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
