Patricia's Story
First my maiden name Kouke is pronounced Cookie so I was known as Pat Cookie.
Life
I went to Hollywood High School in 1959 and dropped out in 1960. Hung out with the outsiders and seemed to visit the principal's office more than I should. Did not like school. Spent my spare time hanging out at Stan's and Tiny Naylors and of course the strip. I was into the motorcycle crowd and living life on the dangerous side. I spent my summers in Kentucky.
Life has changed a great deal for a high school dropout. I recieved my Ph.D. from Florida State University. I recently retired from the University of Nevada Las Vegas and the United States Navy. My current husband is a minister and my life is no longer wild, thank God.

tucky and then back to Hollywood. In 1964 moved to Long Beach with my second husband and then divorce. Then I moved to San Francisco until 1970.
I left California in 1970 and returned in 1974, just to leave again in 1980 when I bought a farm in Kentucky. Then I moved to Florida.I remarried in 1993 and moved to Las Vegas in 1999 until 2006.
I have four children Frank a professor, Rodger an airconditioning company manager, Cyndi a toy store manager and our youngest who lives with us in Texas. I have numerous step children and step grandchildren.
I spend my time now fishing and teaching college American history courses part-time. Retirement was not for me or I should say they money ran out faster than I planned.
