Patrick Price, ’65, motorcoaches the nation

Patrick Price, BCHS Class of 1965, lives full-time in a 45-foot motorcoach, but that hasn’t stopped him from staying connected with his fellow alumni! “I’m constantly on the move across North America, always chasing the perfect weather,” Patrick shared.

Despite being on the road, Patrick enjoys staying in touch with his fellow classmates, attending all-city reunions and most recently joining the Class of ’66 for their reunion with alumni from eleven area Catholic high schools. “More than 90 of us gathered at the school for our 50th reunion. Now, it’s been 60 years!”

As a member of Bishop Chatard’s very first graduating class, Patrick laughingly recalled, “It all began with us and the Class of 1965! We’re the founding children, not the founding fathers!”
