Patty was a longtime member on this forum and the OFR.

Her passions were horses, helping folks and kibbitzing with a bunch of crusty old numismatists.

I recall Patty's story of spotting a Pterosaur several decades ago.

Share a story if you have one.

    She sent me a map of a meteor strike in the Virgin Islands that she was going to check out but I guess never got back there to do so.
    She was a nurse back in the day and helped me immensely when I was fighting lymphoma 7 years ago.

    DAMMIT ! :|:'(:'(

    Didn't know that. Thought all along that Russ was the marble Kreskin.

    I'm so sorry to hear about Patty. We met on the old Open Forum and started PMing when we found out we lived close to each other. We messaged back and forth quite a bit and tried to get together but things always popped up. Never did get a chance to her face to face but she was a fine person. She will be missed.

  • OuthaulOuthaul Posts: 7,440 ✭✭✭✭✭

    So sad. She was quite a contributor; very knowledgeable in many areas.

  • BaleyBaley Posts: 22,663 ✭✭✭✭✭
