Patricia ‘Pat” Gallagher was born in Bogart, Georgia. Her mother Lois Nunnally Gallagher was also born in Bogart and her father Martin R. Gallagher was born in Boston, Massachusetts. They met at a USO dance in Charleston, SC during WWII ~ one dance and the rest was history.

Pat attended school in Georgia until the 10th grade then moved to Jacksonville FL where she finished high school. She attended college in Jacksonville where she studied speech, drama, history and world geography.

Pat enjoyed a lifelong career of over 50 years, as a lead flight attendant for Delta Air Lines. She was originally based in New Orleans and then Atlanta. She had the opportunity to travel the world and see many wonderful places but still contends that there's no place like home. Being a world traveler gave her the opportunity to appreciate her own American heritage. Her genealogy interest started at age 12, when she interviewed her uncle, who had been at Pearl Harbor.
