Patricia A. McGill

I met her once while she was playing music (I forget where) and we chatted for a while about music and how we both attended HRHS and about bicycling. I commented how she looked like Joan Baez. She was very sweet with an infectious smile.

I knew Patty in Plainfield, VT in the 80s from the Winooski Valley Co-op and from WGDR. I always remember 2 things about Patty.

Dear Gilly, I am so very sad to receive this news of Patti's passing. I always admired her free spirit and perseverance.
