On 9-11, Pamela was an eyewitness to the collapse of the World Trade Center.

Pamela is a certified ski instructor and a fledgling cook who admits to not being fully domesticated. She drove her well-worn car with her beloved kitty Possum through one Canadian province and three states to arrive at her new home at the foot of the Wasatch mountains.
