Patti (Pat)'s Story
Ice skated most of my time from junior high through high school. Knew a lot of people who skated. Rarely went to parties. Went to college but had to quite because I was pregnant. Married Tim Massanari and had two daughters. Divorced and moved to Green Bay, WI. After a few years, married a local guy and had two sons with him. Divorced again, and married a man from the Chicago area. Married 20 yrs, his health continued to fail due to Hep-b and liver failure. He died in Oct 2014. Now trying to figuring out what my next chapter will be.
I earned a BS in Organizational Behavior & a MS in Business. Taught college courses, while working as a change agent/problem solver. I wrote and published a book about life.
Both daughter have degrees and have/had successful careers. One son has a degree in Electrical Engineering from Milw School of Engineering and youngest son has a degree in Network Security.

othing for marketing ads. I enjoy making jewelry, painting with watercolors and reading new ideas, always learning. All the dancing and ice skating has left me with severe arthritis. Had my back fused in 2008 and the Dr said he had only seen that bad of a back in linebackers (Packers). Now I can only lift 10lbs. I like doing yoga these days and walking trails by the bay or river. Love my children and grandchildren, but rarely see them. The girls had the grandchildren and now live in AZ and AR. Too far for a little drive.
I am very different from when I was in Champaign. Now I say whatever I think and swear like a sailor. Love being silly and having fun, but also like being by myself. My latest passion has been trying to figure out my maternal grandmother's life from birth to when she married my grandfather. She was raised in northern Illinois, but her stories don't match the facts. Found a lot of skeletons in my family tree, so I get my attitude honestly!
