Patti's Story
My husband and I live near Tulsa, OK these days.
I was an Air Force brat, and I went to five different schools in High School due to Dad getting new orders all the time and eventually retiring:
9th - Ramstein High School, Ramstein AFB, Germany
10th - White County High School, Sparta, TN
11th - Copperas Cove High School, Copperas Cove, TX
12th - Lorena High School, Lorena, TX until Oct 31, Spring Woods High School, Houston, TX Nov 1 through graduation.
I worked my way through college and have two degrees - one in Accounting and one in Business Management. I became a CPA and practiced international, corporate, partnership, individual federal and state tax for 26 years. I worked for Deloitte & Touche, PriceWaterhouse, Williams Coomunications, Samson Resources Company,
ConocoPhillips, and finishing up in local firms.
In 2015 I completely changed careers and went into health care. I earned certifications for Group Fitness Instructor, Tai Chi Instructor, and Activities Professional Certified, and worked for retirement communities and rehab centers.

I will be forever effected by it. Aside from my catching long covid from a patient, it was the most rewarding work of my life!
I have served on the boards of several non-profits for child hearing loss, the arts, and community retirement services.
I am married to Phil Harriman who is a veteran, teaches English in a Christian high school and is a middle school football coach. I have a son Steven who is also a veteran, lives in Austin, TX, burning the candle at both ends being a musician, professional photographer and videographer, while writing and promoting award-winning short films. I have another son named Sean who grew to be 6'11" and was a basketball star in high school and college until he became suddenly gravely ill. He is disabled and lives near Houston, TX. I have a grandson Ben who is a braniac and graduating high school Dec 2022, and a granddaughter Aurora who was kidnapped and has been missing since 2012. She was last seen in 2012 in New Jersey with her maternal grandmother, and she just turned 14yo. 😢
I retired in May 2022 for health reasons, and I am enjoying being a housewife finally, my hobbies of painting, genealogy, photography, traveling when we can, and being a cat mom to two giant Maine Coons and an 18y0 tiny brown tabby.
