Patricia McCutchan Bergh

While at school at the University of Minnesota, I worked at Miller in St. Paul, Minneapolis General, and at the Glen Lake Sanatorium (during my honeymoon!). I met my future husband Kit Bergh in a psychology class and again later when caring for his father at University Hospital. We became well acquainted, soon to fall in love and marry. In my class of 500 I was one of the 100 who graduated. I practiced in Minnesota and Florida after graduation working in hospitals as well as occasional private duty nursing. I worked at the hospital in Stillwater MN well into the 1970's. I certainly much preferred nursing to office work.

Many years after Kit's death, I met a former classmate from my high school days in Bloomington MN. Ray Savela had gone away to Alaska with his family before graduating. We spent many years together, traveling to Finland, Norway and Denmark as well as summering for many years just outside of Fairbanks, AK. He passed away last October.

I've lost touch with most of my classmates from the corps. Some have died but surely some of us are still here.
