Author, Researcher, Visionary Patricia Haslam A native Michigander, Pat graduated from Michigan State College with a B.S., Class of ‘53, majoring in interior design and decorative arts. But she was always interested in history having been inspired by a mural drawing project studying American history in third grade. In college she learned to ski at Boyne Mountain, and Cadillac, where she broke her ankle skiing, but was never an accomplished skier. Much later, it was skiing the rope tow and T-bar at Toll House in Stowe on several occasions, and then she decided it was too hard to bring up her small children what with risking another broken bone and so gave up skiing. Later all three of her children were lucky enough to be able to participate in the Friday Afternoon Program for Stowe school children each winter which was generously offered, gratis, by the Mt. Mansfield Company. In 1967, Pat’s great-aunt gave her a letter about the genealogy of one branch of their family and as she investigated aspects of that, she became further hooked on history. After two graduate courses in library science at UVM, attending seminars, joining several local historical and genealogical societies, and computers came along, she became a board Certified Genealogist (1973-2008) and took clients. “This has been very rewarding what with writing journal articles and publishing books with the Stowe Historical Society and Stowe Cemetery Commission, and publishing otherwise-buried manuscripts because of their genealogical value, all reference-type books. The research and investigation are the most exciting aspects of history, ” she comments. Pat and her husband Peter live in Stowe enjoying retirement and continuing her research.
