25 years ago — Oct. 7, 1982 Foxy Loxy, Patterson’s live-in creature of the wild, who apparently makes his home on North Sixth Street, is showing signs of becoming an indoor pet. Edna Patterson, whose husband, Jack, is the son of our town’s founder, was seated in her living room on North Sixth when she spotted a bushy tail going past her kitchen refrigerator. It was Foxy Loxy, who had entered through an open garage door and exited through an open back door. “He just walked in and out without any problem,” Edna told this newspaper. A Pasadena man, Richard Kelly, is the new pastor of Patterson Covenant Church, succeeding Bob Hirsch. The life of Pattersonite Dorothy Harrison, longtime civic activist, is being featured in The Gateway, a publication of the Patterson Township Historical Society. 50 years ago — Oct. 3, 1957 Arriving this week in Patterson was Karl Gorz, an American Field Service student from Vienna who will live for the school year with the Don Crooker family.
