hard to believe Patrick is 100 years old...this year...mind boggling....

I'm celebrating him today..by playing some of the original Broadway cast Lp's from the mid 50's....I can only imagine the conversations he's having in the great beyond...with Honor and Diana.....

probably near his last wife

Not to be morbid but it would be poignant to have a photo of his tombstone. I wonder if any Forum members live in southern California and could visit the cemetery and post a photo?

The Avengers episodes are so timeless–they've weathered the years so very well–that sometimes it's a shock to remember how old the show is and that Pat has been gone for more than 7 years.
