After graduation, Pat went to work with the telephone company in Teaneck.  After her marriage to Art in February, 1956 she continued to work at the phone company until the birth of their first child, Susan in 1958.  Pat & Art lived in Hackensack until their 2nd child Jim, was born in 1959.  Needing more space they bought their first home in Neptune.  They had 2 more sons, Paul in 1961 and Peter in 1963.   Needing a larger home, they moved to Wall Twsp. where they are today.  Being near the shore was great and the kids loved it.  She was a "stay at home" Mom for 12 years but decided to try part-time work in 1970.  Pat worked at 3 jobs in 2 malls for several years.  When daughter, Susan was a Junior in college she worked for a chiropractor during summer break; when she went back to school Pat took the job.  She had new skills & routines to learn, but after 5 years it was time to move on.  Pat has been working for "Cedar Bridge Medical Associates" in Brick for the past 13 years, where she loves working in the Billing Dept.  In her spare time she loves gardening and reading.
When she turned 65  she cut her hours to 4 days a week.  That didn't last long because daughter Susan wanted to get back to teaching after a 2 yr. maternity leave.  Pat started watching her twin grandsons on her day off.   Their son Jim isn't married but has his own home in Wall.  Pat & Art's son Paul and his wife Diane live in Brick with their 2 children, Megan and Brandon. Son Peter still lives at home. He was brain damaged at birth (lack of oxygen).  Pat's husband Art is also handicapped.  In 2001, while deer hunting, he fell from his tree stand.  As a result of the fall he has spinal cord injury.  He spent many weeks at Kessler Institute and was there a 2nd time after cervical spine surgery.  After many setbacks he can walk with a cane and they  feel he is lucky to be "walking" at all.
