A Glimpse at Me...patafea a.k.a. Patricia Churchill (Warren/Stutts)
I was born in the Bronx in New York City! From five years old to fourteen, I lived in Miami, Florida; from fourteen to seventeen, Freeport, Grand Bahama; from eighteen to twenty-two, California; and in between, then and now, I have also lived in San Francisco, Minnesota, Virginia, North Carolina, and Florida. Overseas I have lived in England and India and travelled to many other States and Countries, with extended stays in Chile, France, Spain, Holland, Germany and Hong Kong.
I am 1/4 Hungarian, 1/4 Austrian, 1/4 Ukrainian (Minsk) and 1/4 German/Russian!……A Heinz-57 Mutt! Perhaps that is why I love people from all over the world, all walks of life, all religions, all ethnicities, etc.!
My schooling has taken me from kindergarten to ‘some college’, but I must say that the education which has educated me the most is the......‘School of Life’!
I’ve always been an adventurer (not the ‘extreme sports’ type, i.e., jumping out of planes, bungee jumping, river rafting, etc.), more like in the category of travelling and moving to new places, trying new foods (as long as they don’t move on my plate or look like their original form, i.e. soft-shell crabs)!
I tagged sharks in the Bahamas for the A.I.B.S. (American Institute of Biological Sciences, Stanford, CA), was on the Bahamian Fencing Team, (even taught fencing at the University of the Pacific while attending college there), played tennis, and did a lot of scuba diving in both The Bahamas and California! Yes, I know, some people would consider that an adventure sport, however, for me, other than watching out for sharks and barracuda, I had always enjoyed my diving experiences…well, there were two somewhat scary dives, but I was young and so I kept diving until my lifestyle changed (marriage, kids, other interests, etc.)!
