In Remembrance of Dr. Patricia P. Pine

On May 2, 2004, Pat Pine passed away at her home in New Paltz. Pat dedicated her professional life to serving the seniors of New York. Her background as an AAA Director in the counties of Dutchess and Ulster gave Pat the first-hand knowledge of what is important at the grassroots level. Pat's tenure as the Executive Deputy Director of the New York State Office for Aging saw the germination of an initiative which has come to be known as Project 2015. Her subsequent appointment as Director of the State Office was lauded by all: AAAs and providers, as well as the academic community.

Pat is survived by her husband Dr. Vanderlyn R. Pine, five children and eight grandchildren.
