Patricia E. Kelly was born in Hartford, CT under the watchful eyes of blessed Nuns at St Francis Hospital. Born into a Native American and African-American culture; pretty normal beginning until Mr. Fisher, a Jewish grocer and his horse that turned me into an conundrum – that is, a Black Cowgirl in the 1950’s. – in Connecticut. Then I became a U.S. Marine handling classified information (opps), then a Wife, Mom, and back into a Black Cowgirl.
