Pat was such a wonderful person, teacher and artist. she was my art teacher at Tokeneke School in the 60's and I still remember how wonderful she was. She was a great inspiration to my brother and I. I love the arts, enjoy painting and making pottery. My brother is a wildlife and foodie photographer. I ran into Pat occasionally the last few years. First, at Silvermine Art Center in the pottery studio when I introduced her as my elementary art teacher and she seemed quite please. I ran into Pat at the Rowayton Art Center where she was displaying some of her beautiful ceramic pieces. My nephew, Dan Scheckler won an award for his artwork at the Darien Art Center and it turned out they new each other. I am only one person who has had the benefit of her inspiration. There are many other students, artists and friends who she has touched and are better for knowing Pat. May she rest in peace.
