BajaTRAVELER Staff Writer :: Pat Tyson

Pat Tyson was raised and educated in England, lived for a while in Lausanne, Switzerland to perfect her French and absorb the culture there. In 1956, she arrived in that "toddling town" of Chicago, where she worked for two large advertising agencies. Feeling the pull of the West, she moved first to San Diego where, at San Diego State, she earned a master's in telecommunication and film. For 10 years she taught college journalism; has been the Executive Editor forTraveler Publications since the start; twelve years ago. She also wrote for San Diego Home/Garden for 25 years, then ventured forth to the Gold Country of Northern California. In the tiny town of Rough and Ready she has found to her joy, besides gold mines, a mine of fascinating history!
