Turns out that my cousin Eleanor Buck from Roslyn (now Eleanor Millwater of Glen Head) baby sat for both Pat Cavanaugh and for my brothers and I long before we knew each other.  Pat recalls that she was well behaved, but not always so in school later on. 

“I tried to become one of the first woman’s libbers.  My 3 best friends and I decided we were freezing in skirts and made a deal to unite and break the rules one day.  The four of us wore jeans to school that brutally freezing day.  Good old Stanley Goodwin [assistant principal] got us all in his car and drove us all to Glenwood Landing where we all lived. Then he waited outside in his car while we changed into skirts. My house was first. I lived in the Glenwood Landing Fire House then, and there he sat outside in his car. What he didn't know was besides my changing, we were all in there having a quick cup of coffee.  Then it was on to the next three houses. We missed a lot of school that morning.  Poor Stanley did a lot of waiting in his car. “
