I ask you, the family readers, to contribute any additional material in the comment section so that we can know and connect our family stories. For this historical blog, I would like to pay tribute to my sister Patricia Jean. Born: August 23, 1933 Died: September 12, 1981.
Pat is the youngest child of John and Agnes Durosko
Seen here in the front between our parents. Early on she was blond with blue eyes.
Pat loved playing with dolls and had a great imagination. One day while Pat was enjoying her doll world in the basement I was observing her with keen interest from the stairs leading to the basement. After a while I was bored, so I decided to scare her. So I yelled, "Boo" and poor Pat, she hooped and hollered and was so frightened that this in turn scared me. I crashed head over heals down the stairs. I landed face first under the wash tubs. Our mother extricated me while I was bawling my eyes out. It took a week for my badly skinned face to heal. Moral of the story-do not scare little sisters-ever.

I do not remember if Pat practiced nursing since the family started to increase to six children. Maybe someone in the family knows this part of Pat's life.
