Patrick Shea

Pat Shea was born at Holy Cross Hospital. He was delivered by Dr. A.J.Murphy, his grandfather. At three months, Pat, his parents Ed and Ramona moved to Great Falls, Montana. His first six years in Montana allowed Pat to understand communities not divided by sociology. Pat attended Dilworth Elementary, Hillside Junior High School and Highland High School, where he graduated in 1966 despite being "thrown out of class" five times his senior year. Pat credits his subsequent academic success to his Mother and his tolerating teachers, particularly Mrs. Rigby, Mr. Sundstrom, Mr. Nagle, Mr. Rush and Mr. Collett.
