Patsy visited California shortly after fi nishing high school and decided this was the place for her. She headed out west in the summer of 1965, behind the wheel of a VW Bug, and never left. She worked at CF Braun Engineering, Gospel Light Publishing, and fi nally, fortunately for all of us, in 1980 she came to CBS Studio Center. The majority of her years here were spent working in the Operations Department, fi rst for Al Ellena, then Brian Lovell. Patsy enjoyed water skiing, camping with family and friends at the ocean and in the mountains, traveling, supporting her community, bingo, arts and crafts and decorating her home for every holiday.
