Patricia is married to her own romance hero, Rod. She just celebrated the joyful weddings of both her sons, Matthew and Paul, during the summer of 2005. Daughter Alison has been married for a number of years, so Patricia and Rod are hoping for grandchildren at last. Patricia has spent over 6 months each year since 2001 volunteering in rural Kenya where she works with teachers and administrators. A Rotarian, she is also involved with bringing clean water to isolated villages through Rotary grants and helping a women's cooperative to raise goats. A native of London, England, she has lived and worked in six countries and is now settled in Victoria, Canada, where her office window overlooks the busy harbor.
