Congratulations to Patrick Young (3839). As well as being our oldest Old Elizabethan, having just celebrated his 102nd birthday, Patrick Young was the oldest finisher in Shamrock Run Portland history.  This is the largest running and walking event in Oregon and Patrick completed the 5k class.  Elizabeth College and the OEA would like to wish Patrick many happy returns.
