Pat Rairden:  

Life I live in upstate NY. I have 2 dogs. I am widowed after a long marriage. I enjoy machine embroidery,tracing my ancestors, home dec.,home improvement, music ,comedy and mysteries. I have two grown kids, Eric and Heather and 8 grandkids. Good thing I am young..lol I miss Middle Village ,Maspeth and Ridgewood and all the kids I went to school with. I have just retired from a large telco . I really enjoy crafts. I wish I had continued at MLHS,since it was quieter and friendlier than Gchs, but you know the young. I thought it was better not to have mom and dad pay tuition,and I could walk to school. I have often thought about going back to school and becoming a Lutheran pastor. I wonder if I am too old to learn.lol I know that we are never too old. I love the idea of getting to talk to old friends.I am glad so many of my old pals, like Mike Spiegel,Ron Pagano,Karen Megay,Patti Rausch have joined . you can find me at rairden at netzero net Hope to hear from you soon,Patti School I think Miss Walz from Grover Cleve...Expand for more
