PATRICIA WOOD (KIRKLAND)

In 1962, from school, I lived back in Richmond VA, at a Boarding School for girls, for 10 months. Had a few jobs, as a stegnographer on IBM machines, clerk typist/file clerk, Mail clerk. June of 1963, I went to Hawaii with my mother, to marry my fiancée, Gregory E. Kirkland, that was in the U S Marine Corp there for 3 years. Soon after his return, to where I was living w/my folks in Danville, Va. we left to live 10 months in St. Petersburg, FL. Left there for Richmond again, where we resided and had our 3 children, for almost 4 yrs. We moved back to FL in North Miami Beach. Lived in 4 other residents in FL from there. We lived in GA. for almost 2 years, Orlando, 8 months, until we moved in 2013 here at Lake Wales, FL our last home.

I went to North Miami Jr. High in the 9th grade - 1958/59, North Miami Sr. High in the 10, first semester of the 11th, I attended George Wythe High in Richmond VA. The second semester, I completed the 11th at NMSH. I graduated the following year, 1962 at NMSH.

No, I'm afraid not. I knew Joann Williams and her sister, Betty and husband, Herb Phelan, that graduated a year earlier.

Yes, I have been married to the same person for 55 years! June 30th 1963.

I've always liked to cook and bake, getting recipe idea and keeping them for future reference, to look back on.
I like to crochet from time to time.

Go to a few exotic places we have never been before. Maybe a Cruise, 3 days tops! Go back one more time, to my home town of Salem/Roanoke, VA, to see my friends again there and to just see how much the places has changed, from how I remembered it as a child growing up.
