To the Petretta Family:
It was my privilege to work with Pat at CCMCO in the summer of '91 and again several years ago. I was always amazed at how he could reach some of the students with his tough-love and how they adored "Mr. P". We are all better for having worked with him, and he will be remembered always, with a smile! Thank you for sharing him with us.
