Ivan, I am so sorry to hear of Patti's passing.Patti and I went to high school together and it was several years later that we ran into each other at the laundromat here in Tamalpais Valley where you were living at the time. Patti and I both had infants at the time and that gave us all the more to talk about.I remember so well one of the days we spent here in my home with out babies. It was November 22, 1963 the day President Kennedy was shot and killed.Patti and I were glued to the TV.We wept and consoled each other.Then you moved away and we lost touch.She was wonderful back then as I'm sure she was wonderful all these years since I last saw her.

Ivan,
I was so sad to hear of Patti's passing. She was such a lovely person. Her family was so important to her. I remember all the bragging over grandchildren that we shared. We all shared a lot of fun times together. I also remember that she loved her cool car! She was always kind, warm and caring with her customers and friends at Novato National Bank. The NNB family shares in the loss of Patti. My thoughts are with you and your family. Love, Penny Hershman
