Trish’s parents spared no expense when it came to her education and training.

In addition to her outstanding formal education in the public school system, Trish received private instruction in dance, music appreciation, rock climbing and horseback riding.

Note the intense concentration on her face in the picture below, taken during one of her music appreciation sessions.

Below is a picture taken the day of her first-ever public dance performance.  It’s apparent Trish had real talent.

Her competitive nature, particularly in athletics, comes through in the picture below, taken in 1964 at the “Round-Up Pony Ranch” in Sudbury, MA.  Fortunately, someone was able to capture the moment in this photo, as Trish sped by on horseback.

Not one to shy away from a challenge, Trish embraced rock climbing at 6 years old.  Here she is at the top of a particularly tricky summit.

Even at a very young age Trish was well connected.  It was only natural that the rich and famous would seek her out for council.

Of course, true friendships never end.  She’s still in touch with her old friends.
