Profile

Hometown:: Born in San Francisco, CA Now living on Central Coast

Relationship Status:: Single

About Me:: I'm 75 years old and visited Ireland in September of 2006. My grandparents were all born there and I've always longed to see it. It was everything I'd hoped for and more. I am an actress and theatre director, now semi-retired. I am widowed, have four grown children, five grand children and one "great" one on the way. I am heavily into politics and have been campaigning for Barack Obama. I love everything Irish.

Favorite Music:: Well, I'm pretty old so naturally I like ballads; Tony Bennett, Frank Sinatra, Semi-Classical: Rhapsody in Blue is my absolute favorite. It's funny to me that now, even the music and artists my kids like are considered "oldies." I like a lot of 60's music. I love Barbra, Neil Diamond, so many others. As for modern I like, Alicia Keyes a lot and many others but can't be specific. I did though, see "Once" and loved the movie and the music. Also, Irish/Celtic music, of course.

Favorite TV Shows:: Boston Legal, Jon Stewart, Stephen Colbert, Bill Moyers,The Wire, In Treatment, Most things on the Sundance Channel, Masterpiece Theatre, The Tudors, others.

Currently Reading? (Books Magazines etc): 13 Ways of Looking at the Novel, Jane Smiley

Favourite Place?: San Francisco/Achill

Hi my friends, I've been very involved in the campaigns here and want to keep in touch. I have no idea if this will work as I'm one of those, technically challenged types. Would love to hear from Y'all (We're campaigning in Texas now) Patti

One of my best experiences in the theatre was playing Mary Devlin, the wife of Edwin Booth, opposite Jose Ferrer, who played Edwin, and his father, and produced AND directed, etc., etc. As for Barack, he is said to have some Irish, somewhere in his background. No matter, I'm in his corner anyway, Bigtime! Thanks for the note. Patti

Now given, and hopefully, he is a needed answer to current American politics - he's not Irish! Now that may be his only flaw. Frank S and "You Make Me Feel So Young" Come Fly With Me and High Hopes are a couple of my favorites. JMD

I did a box set thing as a competition in Ireland of Frank Sinatra. We were going to do it via Harmac (?) and I can't remember what went wrong. I have a garbage memory. I recall talking about the Tony Bennet glitch, because I think we shipped a piano up to Scotland. So the BBC, mighthave thought they were looking at a sure thing. Anyway, such is life. If it ain't in the fridge, it may not be anywhere.

Are you still working on the Obama campaign? It has all been so exciting...fingers are crossed and hopes are high. Did see Michelle on the View (when I was sick)...what a classy and intellegent lady. She came across well. Was just wondering how it was going for you.

She is listed as "Elyse W".

Well, it was wild just before PA when you wrote me. It's wild not before North Carolina & Indiana, isn't it? That pseudo-debate, the Rev. Wright stuff, all of the accusations that Barack has to deal with and not sling mud back.

My wife did some telephoning to Pennsylvania and got hung up on twice. Evidently a somewhat out of date list. She is from Indiana, so she is thinking about making calls this weekend. We will see, as we now suddenly have a lot of yard work to do.

I don't know if you are a Star Wars fan, but there is a neat video that has been produced called "The Empire Strikes Barack," playing on the 2nd Star Wars movie title. If you are interested I will send you the link.

Are you on the Obama site? My wife, Elyse, would be interested in connecting with you there if you are.

Hope all is well with you.

At 5:42am on April 25th, 2008, Pat Moore said…: So how are you doing now that Pennsylvannia is done? I'm sure that all efforts are directed at Indiana and the remaining states. Go Barack, we need life, intellegence, faith in our future and energy to help our country get on the right track. Hope that all is going well.

My wife and I live in Illinois and we are working for Barack as well. My wife is planning to give this evening over to campagin calls to Pennsylvania. She is quite active. I have a page on the Obama site and have written one little blog. We are both excited at the prospect of change that Barack is able to envision - and inspire the rest of us toward.

Thanks for the work you have done for the campaign in California.

Just a good luck wish for Pennsylvania. Change is in sight! Another late night Tuesday.
