Hi Everyone,
Welcome to my personal page. I'd like to introduce myself. My name is Patrick Lee Browder. I was born in Bonita, California. My father's name is Joe and my mother's name is Patsy. My father is from San Diego. He went to Sweetwater High School a long time ago. He worked as a photographer in the Air Force during the Korean War. When the war was over and he returned from Korea, he went to USC (the University of Southern California). He was a police officer in New York City and then moved to San Diego where he has owned the same business in National City for nearly forty years. He's a friendly guy and is still working today. He used to love to travel but now I think he prefers to watch baseball at home. His family, the Browder family, is originally from Ireland.
My mother's name is Patsy Leila Killgallon. Her family is from Pitssburgh, Pennsylvania. She is an artist and loves to spend time gardening. She loves all types of flowers. You should see her rose gardens. They're beautiful. She's very proud of them. She's also a very good painter. I have one of her paintings in my home. Before she was a painter she was a flight attendant for American Airlines. She was working when she met my father who was a passenger on a flight to New York city. She was serving coffee when she accidentally spilled some on him. She felt very bad. My father said it would all be okay if she agreed to have dinner with him in New York. Well, I guess she agreed to have dinner with him, because, they got married and had five children. It's a funny story.
I am the youngest of five children. We have a big, happy family. Let me introduce them to you. My sister, Erin, is the oldest of the five kids in my family. She has a lot of different interests including art, music and traveling. She teaches anthropology at Southwestern College in Chula Vista, California. She also knows a lot about the Maya civilization of Southern Mexico and Central America. Maybe you will take her class one day. My brother, Judd manages the family business; West Coast Radiator in National City. They fix car radiators. My family has had the same business for almost forty years. Maybe you have taken your car there to be fixed. My other brother, Joe used to manage the family business, but now he drives a delivery truck. He has a wonderful family. There are three boys and a baby girl. They love to spend time together on the weekends playing soccer, swimming, skateboarding, and they even cleaning up the local beaches. My sister Sheila is an artist. She lives in Shasta, California. She also sings in a band and loves spending time hiking in the mountains. She's a great singer and very cool. All of my family members are cool. I'm very lucky!
