Patricia A. Malloy

School in Berkeley for 4 years.
Moved to Modesto in 1977, kicking and screaming. I believe Modesto has recently received the dubious "honor" of being the 5th worst city in the U.S. in which to live.
Came to my senses in 2006 and moved out of the Valley: first in, last out.
Something or someone took my hand and led me back to Napa in a round about way last September.
Did we ever take the time to look around us and realize what a beautiful place this is when we were growing up????

Will anyone ever forget sloshing across "Route 66" in the pouring rain??
