Stories mentioning Pat
- The First Television and the Music That StayedThe parents returned from Diana’s 1949 leg operation in Chicago with the family’s first black-and-white television. Dee contrasts television with the radio programs that had fed her imagination. Bernie bought a record player after starting window-display work, and Dee repeatedly played Patty Page’s The Tennessee Waltz. Bob and Sue danced, Barb and Margie adored Pat Boone, and Barbie and Diana played instruments. Years later, Diana’s warped violin was discarded, rescued by Mr. Sajben, repaired, and played by his son; Dee regretted being unable to recover it.
- Carol’s Favorite Songs and the Record She KeptCarol recalls Elvis Presley as The King and a teenage idol whose hip movements upset parents. She lists favorite songs by Elvis Presley, Tab Hunter, Everly Brothers, Paul Anka, Debbie Reynolds, Pat Boone, Bobby Darin, and Neil Sedaka. Oh! Carol became a hit after she graduated from high school and remained a favorite because it included her name; it was the only 45 rpm record she still owned.
