Is Patty Alford's Halo Showing?
Patty is a military brat. She was born at Tyndall Field Air Force base in Panama City, Florida. She tells me she went to 16 different schools including four first grades. "You learn to make friends in a hurry." She graduated from Mt. Olive High School near the Goldsboro, North Carolina AFB in 1972. Patty got her B.A. in social work from Western in 1991 and finished her Masters there in 2005. She has been Executive Director of Girls, Inc. since 1996. Coincidentally she became our club's Sergeant at Arms around that time. Patty has been married to her husband Joe for 27 years and they have one daughter and two granddaughters. Patty says her granddaughters got her into scrap booking and she loves to read especially non-fiction and select magazines.
