LIKES HISTORICAL AND MYTHOLOGICAL RESEARCH. ESP. LIKES STORIES ABOUT KING ARTHUR AND MERLIN. WAS LATE ONCE RETURNING TO SEAVIEW FROM SHORE LEAVE WHEN WE WERE OFFSHORE WALES. HAD NO EXCUSE EXCEPT THAT HE GOT LOST IN ‘MERLIN’S CAVE’. IS DETERMINED TO GO BACK SOMEDAY TO INVESTIGATE FURTHER. I WORRY ABOUT HIM SOMETIMES. I SWEAR HE HAS ‘SUCKER’ STAMPED ON HIS FOREHEAD.

HE ALSO BROUGHT BACK SOME GEODES FOR THE MACHINE SHOP TO CRACK OPEN, FOR THEIR MAGIC QUALITIES, HE SAID, AND SOME SNOW FOR COOKIE TO MAKE ‘HONEST TO GOODNESS SNOWCONES’ FROM WHERE ELSE, MOUNT SNOWDON.

SOMETIMES I COULD WRITE A BOOK!

TEN WORDS TO SUM UP WHAT I THINK OF THIS PERSON

I HAD LITTLE INTERACTION WITH PATTERSON, BUT LEE DID. APPRECIATED THAT PAT COULD ALWAYS BE DEPENDED ON TO FOLLOW ORDERS (EXCEPT FOR THAT ONE TIME ABOUT HIS FATHER)

TEN WORDS HOW THIS PERSON AFFECTED MY LIFE

PATTERSON SHOWED ME THAT I’D USUALLY BEEN TAKING MY ‘SCIENTIST EGGHEAD BUDDIE’S (AS LEE CALLED THEM) -AND THEIR ACTIONS, AT FACE VALUE INSTEAD OF CHECKING ON THEM.

WHAT I’D SAY TO THIS PERSON IF WE MET TODAY

LET’S GO VISIT WALES. THE COUNTRY, NOT THE ROYALS.

WHAT I WISH I HADN’T SAID /DONE TO THIS PERSON

THANK YOU FOR BEING A FINE CREWMAN ABOARD SEAVIEW.
