I was a student at NYHS when Pat worked there. I remember Pat as a staff member who always cared about the students even though he didn’t teach us. Pat and I bonded over our shared love of music. He gave me the book 1001 Albums to Listen to before You Die and told me about some of his favorites albums. I love this book too. During my senior year, Pat came to some of my live concerts. He and a couple other faculty members came to my “graduation” gig from School of Rock at the Tractor Tavern in Ballard. It meant a lot to me. Here is a photo from that show.
