Patty is OK!

 The other day, Patrick asked for Patty’s  information. He and David were worried about her, As she lived in the Los Angeles area. We all were frequent contributors to the ATW website. I am happy to report that she is fine, as she moved to Florida a few years ago.

Below, you will see a photo of her former house in Pacific Palisades, burning to the ground. . Please share.

Also below, please see a note from Patty. I will continue to correspond to The old gang, and perhaps bring the group together now and then…

Hi Phantom: So nice to hear from you. Thank-you for checking in. 

My husband and I moved out of the Palisades a little over 3 years ago. We sold the house we built; our timing was just plain lucky. We moved to Jupiter, Florida and we are extremely happy here.

We lived in Pacific Palisades most of our lives, and it was a charming, beautiful spot to live. We left some family, many friends and many memories...so it is beyond words to watch the town burn down.  Traumatic really.  No water.  No fire trucks. Speechless.  I just cannot express the magnitude of what happened. 

Thanks to the incompetence and stupidity of those in charge, a bad situation became catastrophic. And, it is not over. 

Someone sent me a photo of our old house burning and also a photo of one of the neighborhoods (the Alphabet Streets).  I'll attach with this letter.

The silver lining of this horror is that I have heard from so many people. Most that live there  are seriously traumatized.  

Before I sign off, though, let me ask: how are you?  Are you still in NYC?  and do you still write anywhere. I hope you are well and enjoying a brew occasionally with a great group of people for comraderie.  I always thought of ATW as a very rowdy bar, like Cheers.  

Patty
