I was deeply saddened to hear of Pat's passing. He was a great educator and individual. He was certainly one of the best parts of my time at Lakehead. You could always tell that he was passionate both about the forest and about the well-being of his students and the knowledge he was passing on. Harvesting 3 (ie. Friday's with Pat) was certainly one of the most influential classes I've taken both from a practical knowledge standpoint and from the personal experiences gained. Pat was never one to lose the forest for the trees when it came to realizing that the experiences you share with your teachers and fellow students are just as important to your education as the facts. One of my favourite moments from our time harvesting out at Silver Mountain was right at the beginning. Pat was over with the guys reviewing saws while a few of us were with Dr. Pulkki doing laps in the skidder. Dr. Pulkki had failed to mention that Pat had a strict ban on moving the skidder out of first gear and I thought it was time to kick things up a notch. Instantaneously after that shift Pat was running across the field, waving his arms, shouting, "No second gear!!". The speed at which he responded really put it into perspective how in tune with the operation he was and his concern for both our safety and of course, the safety of his skidder. The faculty has lost a significant member and I am honoured to have been able to share my time at Lakehead with him. Sincerely, Susan
