How 2 Great Parents Turned Out 5 Great Kids

by Troy Pattee

I was sorting through some old files today and I came across this newspaper clipping from 1998. My brothers and I aren’t perfect, but because of the way we were raised I think we turned out pretty darn good.

We've come a long way thanks to our parents. Now, if we could only get rid of those student loans.

    I love how all of your degrees are organized so meticulously, too, with the MBA’s on the ends, MACs next and the single Dr. in the center. Must’ve gotten that from your dad….

    But who knew 20 years ago that it would turn out this way? Thinks that make you go hmmmmmm.

    I saw these clippings recently in Jon’s book. Just FYI, my husband (#4 according to Richard) has a Masters in Information Systems. Everyone seems to think he’s in accounting though since he worked for Deloitte…a common mistake so don’t beat yourself up 😉

    It’s the fact that you all look absolutely horrified to have your picture taken. Not a smile on any of your faces!

    Hey Troy, I read your blog for the first time tonight. I didn’t realize you had one. I thought it was funny, clever, creative and entertaining. Your dad hasn’t read it yet. He is watching a football game–Falcons and somebody.

    Hey Troy, I just read your “Dadventerous” blog for the first time. I didn’t know you had one. I thought it was funny, clever, creative, and entertaining. Your dad hasn’t read it, yet. He is watching a football game—Falcons and somebody.
