The One and Only Fran Dorn

Nobody has been around St. Pat longer than Fran.  She moved to the area upon becoming a nurse around 1966.  She joined St. Pat parish – and she and her husband, Pat, were married in the Girls Catholic Central school building after it closed, and before it became St. Pat Senior Center.  She was actually on the committee that hired Sister Mary Watson to start the meal program – and has been involved almost every step of the way ever since, contributing not only to St Pat, but also to the neighborhood.  On September 5, Fran sat down to tell her story – and it is an amazing 45 minutes, broken into three parts.
