Lovely Patricia.... As a child she loved her Saturday morning cartoons and i would wait for her to be finished before we could go play outdoors. As teenages we paid many a visit to her aunt Joselin at Cloud Seven, a gift shop. As an adult Tricia was full of love for animals and full of laughter and jokes.

Suzanne, Kit and families, I was shocked and dismayed to hear that Tricia is gone. She was a good friend, horsewoman and animal lover. She even went with me and my sister-in-law, Susie Chesser, to Alabama to stay with my Aunt Judy and visit family. I lost track of her when she moved to Savannah. I have thought of her fondly many times. She was always such a giving and caring person. She will be missed by many.

In 1915 West Point "Howitzer Yearbook" it was written of Paticia's grandfather Phil McNair: “A conservative of the old school, a true son of the South, imbued with its ideals, and possessing the punctilious manners that exemplify the genuine ideal of courtesy, he has talked, sung and laughed his way into our hearts.” This reminds me of his granddaughter Patricia McNair.

I have been looking for Trisha for a long time- just in October I was googling all over the place because the Class of 1964 reunion was coming up and I considered her part of that class- Trish went to Mead Hall with me when we were children. Last I had seen her was about 1998 0r 99 just before she left for Savannah. I returned to Europe where I had been living, but I came back in 2009 and have been asking around for her, off and on, ever since. I even waited outside a house in Kalmia Hill which google said was hers and it wasn't- and called a number google said was hers and it wasn't. I was dumfounded to find she has died. If only I had known…. We used to ride in Hitchcock Woods when we we're father was my childhood doctor and came to the house with his big black bag when I had chicken pox and hemorrhagic measles. Her mother used to laugh and talk with us when I spent the night. Her father used to conduct fire drills at home. All these memories. I was crazy about her and always looked her up when I returned to Aiken and would go and visit her. This time I just couldn't find her -and I so regret it.
