Condolences to the Driscolls on the death of Patricia from her second cousin, David Searles. David and I (wife Mary) were recently at a Searles (once sp. Seails) family reunion in Maine, and it inspired me to renew my family history research by looking for Searles descendants outside the Maine group. David's grandfather was Edward Seails, brother of Mary Ann Seails, who was John Charles Driscoll's wife. The search led me to the Ithaca Driscolls and to the newspaper notice of Pat's death. We weren't in time to reach Pat, whose life was so interesting. But I hope we can hear from you and get a sense of the path of Mary Ann Driscoll's line ... and introduce' you to the Maine Searles as well. [email protected]

During our years together at Keuka College, I watched Pat excel at Every Sport! I especially enjoyed her success in winning the exciting Crew Race for Keuka! With deepest sympathy and fond memories of Pat, my Keukonian Classmate! Paula Williams Ferretti
