Patricia
Buckley was born on May 20th, 1933, in the Richmond Borough of New
York City. |
| |
She
was the second of three children of an Irish/American Sicilian Marriage.
In grade school, |
| |
young
Patricia was perceived as a poor student, a circumstance probably
attributable to |
| |
dyslexia
which is a generally misunderstood reading and perceptional "disorder".
|
| |
Nonetheless,
one of her teachers determined that this little girl who was "Not
Proficient In |
| |
Anything"
was artistically gifted. This outside opinion helped to convince
Pat's mother to |
| |
enroll
her daughter in an extraordinary public school for girls in downtown
Manhattan: the |
| |
|
| Washington
Irving High School for the Fine Arts. It was there, in what obviously
was a friendly learning environment, that Pat's |
|
artistic abilities were finally encouraged and seriously
nourished. |
