The biography for Patricia Wilkins is empty. What can you add? Pat was born in the San Fernando Valley of Van Nuys, California. There were fields of apples, pomegran- ates, and oranges . There was a huge Park behind our house where I spent most of my summer days at the pool. My dad put a gate in for easy access to the park. They always knew where I would be. On weekends my dad built pools, ponds, tikis and special bar be ques for his friends in the neighborhood. We looked forward to the barbecue that would take place when finished. My mom and dad remodeled almost every house they had. We learned to paint when very young. I really like helping my dad out it was fun. Every 2- 3 weeks during good weather we would go camping where we would enjoy fishing and boating. I am very grateful for my parents.
The biography for Patricia Wilkins is empty. What can you add? After going throughschoolm some trying times yet made it, I went to c cosmetology school. My sister and I would enter styling contest. One of those contests we ran by Beverly and Vidal Sassoon. They were fantastic stylist from Beverly Hills who the greatest haircuts I have ever seen. I moved on to marriage and having children. Later I worked for a pool company. After that I moved to Carson City Nevada. I started working as a cocktail server in casinos which lasted over 21 years. I meant my husband Brian there. No matter what job I pick from there on in I continue to work as a cocktail waitress at the same time. I became a Realtor I in the state of Nevada. Later I worked as a escrow officer for escrow and escrow title companies. Loved that job. After 9/11 hit the jobs I had did not seem of importance. I chose to to work for TSA at the Reno, NV Airport. I wanted to contribute in helping to keep my country safe. In time I could no longer work for my body was trashed. I have nothing to complain about for I love to my jobs and met some pretty fantastic people. Unable to work anymore I was very bored. I was researching some material and by accident came across a family history site. Decided to try some research through that and then came the desire to learn about my family. So I started my family tree. I learned a valuable lesson which is to read the instruc- tions before I start. I already had three sites going and found where I went wrong which was not checking sources. I am still doing cleanup and had a year-and-a-half-long burnout. Now starting to clean up the family trees.
