I was a folk finger and bluegrass banjo player in Indianapolis and lived just a few blocks from Pat's home. We played together in a local coffee house on many occasions. Pat taught me to frail. I lost touch with Pat when I moved to NYC in 1963. Pat introduced me to Peter Seigel and David Grisman who I hung out with briefly in New York. I later heard about his accident and his death.

I was more into commercial folk music at the time and Pat of course was in to old timey music and turned me on to Art Rosenbaulm. He was a wonderful musician and we were good friends for a year or so.

I next heard of Pat when I did a film on the Library of Congress and met Joe Hickerson who remembered Pat fondly.

It is so nice that Pat is remembered.
