Early Life<\/h2>\n

Pat was born in 1941 while we were living in Blackheath Park (No. 17) and would have been about 12 when we moved to Hollybrook Grove (See Vincent McCann<\/a>).<\/p>\n

This is the only photo of Pat I have ever seen, where she is not laughing! She was about 5 years old when it was taken and obviously took life very seriously.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

She went to Belgrove with Tony and myself, until c. 1954 when she started in the Holy Faith Convent at Vernon Avenue, Clontarf. \"Pat<\/a>She left school at Intermediate level,  to work with the Irish Film Institute. Later she got a position as Rail Hostess with CIE<\/p>\n

she found employment as an Air Hostess with Aer Lingus.<\/p>\n

Marriage<\/h2>\n

While working as a hostess, she met and fell in love with John Gingell, a pilot in Aer Lingus. Pat visited my ship when we arrived in Bristol, some time in 1963. She told me she was going out with a guy from Bristol, who was a former Royal Navy Pilot. He lived at the time in a small cottage on Strand Road Sutton. I met him there when I came home on leave, and we hit it off pretty well. They got married in 1964 (one of the few family weddings I (Derek) made it to.)<\/p>\n

They lived in Kilbarrack in a nice little bungalow where Tanya was born. Later they moved to Dublin Road. When Terry and myself got married, Pat came along highly pregnant. A short time later Paul arrived.\"Tanya<\/a><\/p>\n

During the mid seventies, they bought a  house on Shanganagh Terrace in Killiney. John passed away on August 28 1987. A few years later, Pat moved to a town house in Blackrock.<\/p>\n
