Patty rarely spoke. She was a very quiet, thoughtful child. Then, when she was about ten or eleven, dad played, “The Way We Were” on the portable organ on the patio at the cousin’s party. Patty sat up on the organ and started to sing in front of her eighty aunts, uncles, and cousins as though she had done it all her life. Her father and I were awestruck…her voice was amazing. Years later, in high school, she starred as Maria in “West Side Story” and brought the house down.
