Pat Nixon

I've been blessed with a wonderful husband, two caring daughters and sons-in-law, and four really special grandchildren. They have each enhanced my life.

I never have tantrums. If anything makes me mad, I'm silent. If I'm not talking, leave me alone.

I'd like to work on job and educational opportunities for all.

I studied international relations and economics at the University of Virginia. I paid my way by working as a bartender in the summer and at three part-time jobs during the year.

I always dreamed of writing in an orchestral context. But when you finish a piece, you want to hear it. So we played everything with Phish.
