All the following are scans from microfilms of diverse qualities. I've made them as .gif files as I tried to have them as small and possible and not loose on the readability. Some of them, I do also have the PDF (Adobe Acrobat) file of that particular page. If you prefer, let me know but be aware that they are large files.

This list doesn't represent the integrality of what has been published in The Toronto Daily Star (later The Toronto Star) about Patrick, since I may have miss some, but that's five hours of research on the internet browsing through their archive and a full day of work to put together this page.

If all the papers would do like the Star and put their archives online, I'd be a happy woman!.. a very busy happy woman!

Enjoy! but please remember that all of those are copyrighted!! :o)

Pat.
