Patrick's Story
Life
After graduation I studied Theatre at The American Academy Of Dramatic Arts, Textile Science at F.I.T. and Education at Miami University Of Ohio. I met my wife Jessica doing a production of THE MUSIC MAN in Dayton, OH. At this writing we've been married 7 years and have just had our first child.His name is Kevin Tucker. I've just finished a year long national tour of ANNIE as Daddy Warbucks which brought me to 48 states and 3 provinces in Canada. When home in NJ I can sometimes be found playing music with Jon Buck's band THE UGLY TRUTH under the stage name of Mango Chutney. I had been working on Ellis Island but as of 9/11/01 the show EMBRACING FREEDOM,THE IMIGRANT JOURNEY TO AMERICA has closed. In 2003 our second child, Miranda , was born. I joined the first national tour of The Full Monty and toured for six months. We are now expecting our third child, Declan.
Declan was born September 13, ...Expand for more
2005 weighing in at 8lbs and sporting red hair like his brother Kevin.
I attended our 30 year reunion recently and I was very happy to see all who showed up. We have all aged, some more gracefully than others<smile>, but it was clear that we have all been blessed to have known each other and to have grown up in Glen Rock.
A year after our 30th reunion I was was surprised by an even older reunion with a friend, Doug Taphouse. Doug and I attended 4th, 5th, 6th,7th, and 8th grade together in Simsbury CT. It really amazes me how people can be so involved in your every day life, then be absent for decades and then reconnect. These experiences become even more precious the older I get. Doug told me he wanted to examine his past life experiences to have a clearer sense of who he is today. I understand what he means and I suspect this is a large part of "Mid-life Crisis." If so, I say,"Bring it on LOL"
