Patty's Story
Life
After 25 years of shaking things up in Utah as the local sex/AIDS educator, and activist for women's rights, gay rights, and civil rights, I retired from the University of Utah where I was an associate professor of health promotion and women's studies. Now I "weed and read" and enjoy being out of the public spotlight and quietly in my garden. I am always ready for a new adventure, but I am as happy as I can be, loving my friends and freedom.

It was my salvation from a very unhappy childhood, it gave me a template upon which I built my feminism, and gave me a respect for others.
College
The greatest mistake I ever made in life was attending Brigham Young University. I cried almost each day I was there because of the racism and the lack of intellectual freedom or curiosity. It did help me realize that mormonism sure didn't work for me, but I don't think it was the best place to begin my professional future. I hope I've made the best of that experience since then.
