Thanks for starting this thread, Janie, & giving us the background &, Karen, thanks for bringing us up-to-date. I had seen a bit of this on Facebook, after wondering why Pat hadn't responded to posts on his birthday thread. Karen, I hope you know how highly regarded you & your family are by this community. Pat is close to our hearts, particularly those of us who've been around since near the beginning of Mudcat & still cherish those earlier times of good fellowship! Sending my prayers & love your way! Love you, Spaw!
