A VERY LONG time ago, Pat and I attended St. James School in Orlando Fla. He was such a nice young man, we suffered together through the nuns and priests. When I first heard he wrote Prince of Tides I was thunderstruck. I could not believe that was "my Pat" from childhood. Small world.

This is less known period in Pat's life but I suspect it will be brought to light in the extraordinary biography by Catherine Seltzer coming out from Random House in 2021.
