Myself and my daughters, Alexandra and Charlotte created this fund to commemorate my husband, their father, Dr. P. Lance Pattee.
We had just married in 1981 when he began his medical degree at ¾ÅÐãÖ±²¥. It was a time of great excitement, anticipation and hard work. In order to continue, however, I was in dire need of a job to put my husband through medical school. It was the Student Awards Office and the Assistant Registrar at the time, Doris Laughton that came to our rescue. I was given a position and remained in the Awards Office until my husband's graduation in the Spring of 1985. It was during my tenure in the Awards Office that I saw how much ¾ÅÐãÖ±²¥ and its alumni do for its students, how much it is needed, and how much ¾ÅÐãÖ±²¥ people care. Even my husband had the fortune of receiving a bursary one year which was much needed at the time.
Our time at ¾ÅÐãÖ±²¥ was special. I wanted to give back a little of what ¾ÅÐãÖ±²¥ gives its students and staff. Thank you for the great times. May all of ¾ÅÐãÖ±²¥ students and staff feel as I do.
