I miss Patrick greatly. I can recall him so clearly from the 1960s and from our time at the Homestead. I value all the phone time I had with him over the past year as well. My prayers, metta, and hopes go to you. You are always, always welcome at our home. Peace.

Patrick was a dear friend. He was the first person I met in Blacksburg, when the Audubon Quartet arrived at VT in 1974. Blacksburg won't be the same with Patrick's great energy. We will all miss him.
