Patricia Martin (Page 2)
Bio
Patricia Martin was born on a volcano (Mt. Tabor) in Portland, OR, on July 13, 1929. One year later, the volcano was still calm, but the economy had imploded. During the Great Depression of the 1930s, her family took refuge in a little country cabin near another volcano (Mt. St. Helens), where she and her three younger brothers enjoyed the freedom of roaming the fields and forests, often with no one but their dog. Upon graduating from a consolidated high school in Battle Ground, WA, Patricia immediately went to work to support herself and continue her education. For over thirty years, she was a freelance court reporter in military and civilian courts, legislative proceedings, hearings, and investigations. She continued her college education at various locations along the way, including the University of Washington, St. Martin’s University, University of Maryland, and University of Munich among others.
Patricia went to Japan and Korea as a UN War Correspondent from July 1952 to February 1953. She was one of the first and only Western reporters to spend extended periods with ROK troops on the front lines, primarily in the mountains of the eastern front during the fall and winter of 1952. Her dispatches from Korea were carried regularly in the Nippon Times of Tokyo and the Seattle P.I. in Washington State. In 1954, she was married to Captain Douglas Martin. They were divorced in 1968. She has two sons and three grandchildren.
Always more comfortable with mountains on the horizon, Patricia lives and writes in a rural setting near another dormant volcano (Mt. Rainier) and still roams the fields and forests with her two dogs.
