Presbyterian Manor resident Patricia Anderson had a distinguished teaching career.
Resident Patricia Anderson was a natural-born teacher “Teaching was a very natural thing for me, I have always loved watching people learn new things,” said resident Patricia Anderson. After graduating from The State University of New York at New Paltz, Patricia taught 12th grade English in Poughkeepsie, N.Y., before her children were born. A few years later, she and her husband, Phil, and their two children, Rebecca and Ken, moved to Lawrence. Once the kids entered school, Patricia returned to school herself to get a teaching certificate for Kansas. Patricia taught for six years at South Junior High before she took a sabbatical leave to complete her doctorate in English education. She returned to teaching at West Junior High, where she taught for another six years. She taught English, drama, speech and social studies to junior high students. TEACH, continued on page 2
