She seemed so happy. Needless to say what a wonderful dancer she was.<br />Can or will anyone let me know how she died?

By all accounts a dear, sweet lady, her life was way too short. Still crazy about her.

They list it under "Bandstand". It was a show that originally aired on 12/18/57. Many early regulars were on that show including Pat as well as Kenny and Arlene who hadn't gotten together yet. The picture quality isn't the best but it is very watchable. Besides, when the show originally aired I watched it on a 12 inch black and white TV with rabbit ears so the picture wasn't that great then either. The DVD also includes a great documentary about American Bandstand and includes interviews with several of the early regulars so you get to see what they look like now. Bill, I hope that Pat's daughter checks your site again so that she can get a copy and see why her mom was so loved by so many people.sweetfreddiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06543348177423078074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3668066.post-49230276455900965272009-02-05T13:34:00.000-06:002009-02-05T13:34:00.000-06:00I can't.

There was Pat dancing to every song. She danced with a different guy each time which shows just how popular she was. She was clearly the best dancer on the show. She always had a smile and was obviously having a great time. It is so sad that someone who was so full of life died so young.sweetfreddiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06543348177423078074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3668066.post-25640842652731844942008-09-23T17:21:00.000-05:002008-09-23T17:21:00.000-05:00Thanks, Dave.

Her dancing and her personality cheered me. We watched the show every day in the ward. I wish I could have known her. I wish she could have known how many people she touched. Maybe she does.

I once joined her fan club and she sent me I know 7 or 8 pics.(wallet size) I'm sure they sent them out to everyone who joined. She was always my favorite. So sorry when I heard years ago that she had passed away.I used to do that hop she invented and the stoll that they did on that show. That dates me. I still have the pics, but I couldn't tell you where they are now. I can't remember if there is a typed signed letter with that or not.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
