Alumnae News
Pam Marsh Frucci '52 shares that on
Grandparents Day in 2019, the children's book she
wrote with her 7-year-old granddaughter, who is
now 21, was performed by the Downriver Youth
Performing Arts Center in Trenton as a musical: A
Visit to My Great, Great Grandpa. The audience
was filled with grandparents and grandchildren. She
is hoping it will be performed every Grandparents
Day since it encourages grandchildren to interview
their older relatives and write their life story for
future generations. Pam lives in Grosse Ile, Mich.

Patty Burlin Kennedy '75 retired from the U.S.
Senate staff in 2009 after 23 years. She served as
a professional staff member on the U.S. Senate
Energy and Natural Resources Committee and as a
caseworker and service academy liaison for now-
retired U.S. Senator John Warner. During those
years, she volunteered for several animal charities
and became a guide dog puppy raiser. A book she
wrote about that experience, Through Otis' Eyes, was
published in 1997, followed by another about her
golden retriever, Bailey Bymyside, in 2000. Her strong
interest in animal assisted therapy and the use of dogs
to help people with disabilities led her to work with
a therapeutic service dog training program serving
recovering warriors and their families at Walter Reed
National Military Medical Center. In 2011, she helped
found a nonprofit to support that program and to
provide services at additional military and veteran
treatment facilities. Since 2016, she has been focusing
on family needs and contemplating a few more book
projects. Patty has been married to Kevin since
1983, and they have two grown children. She lives in
Vienna, Va. Email: pattykennedy100@verizon.net
