I actually remember that interview. We had forgotten it was coming, and we were at the Portland zoo with our family. It had been a lovely morning, but it was breaking up into cold rain and gusty winds when Patty got the call. She sat down near the Sea Lion exhibit, and started the interview, while I went on with the kids. Twenty or thirty minutes later I was taking a couple of cold, wet teenagers into the food pavilion, and it started hailing in earnest. I grabbed a cup of hot cocoa, and left the girls to find Patty. She was right where I left her, soaking wet and shivering, still talking on the phone. That's dedication.
She gets brownie points for the interview, but I got some for showing up with a tall mug of hot cocoa!
