I am Pat Goodman's niece.
I am thankful to have been able to spend some time with Dwight over the past few months.
This is a funny story: my husband and our two daughters were over at Pat's house right after Christmas, and we were trying to decide what to order for pizza. And then I thought Dwight was just joking when he suggested we get anchovies on one of them. --- : )
I also really appreciated being offered and being able to use some tickets Dwight had. One set was for the Louisville Orchestra 'OrKIDSstra' concert, that I went to with Madeleine, my five year old.
The other set was for the Louisville Ballet last Friday, and it was the first time Madeleine and I have ever gone to a ballet. We loved it!!!
