This morning I learned of Pats passing. It is with deep regret I hear this because it triggers so many memories. Pat and I dated several years in high school and some in college. I always said I cared a lot more about her than she did me. The last time I saw Pat was at Dr. Sams services. I also found out at that time that Margie had passed away, which I didnt know . I remember seeing Pat, Pam, Jerry and Paula? at the services. Dr. Sam and I were good friends and we fished together. Pats 1965 yearbook picture was the loveliest thing that I had ever seen at that time. I remember Pat dating another guy in high school and Pam and I went out together! Needless to say, I loved the Snead family! I even dove hunted on Ruhl Sneads property at Sneads Crossroads. Ruhl was Sams brother. I remember that Sam and Margie had the only bomb shelter that Ive ever seen. Of course, this was back during the Cold War. I had a red Volkswagen back in college that Jerry
remembered.My prayers go out to the family .
Warmest personal regards,
