Our Great City

Say hello to the Patton family - Robert(Bob), Kathryn, Rachel, and Clay. They moved to Keller in 2002 from Annapolis, Maryland. Bob is a former Air Force pilot and is currently a captain for American Airlines. Kathryn, a former American Airlines flight attendant and accomplished artist, raises their two kids and runs the shuttle service between kids activities.

The quiet, family atmosphere of Keller was a big draw for the Patton's when looking to relocate. Couple that with an excellent shool system and country feel, they felt right at home. Kathryn has two passions, cooking and painting and Robert says that he is probably the best fed dad in Keller! Kathryn also sells some of her dishes to neighbors and friends and is frequently asked to make a dish for special occasions. She has painted since she was a young child and graduated college with an art degree. Kathryn also volunteers at the elementary school and teaches sunday school at First United Church of Keller.

When not out of town, Bob mentors at the elementary school and also at Keller High School. He also helps coach his son's baseball and football teams and works on their neighborhood home owner's board.

Sweet spirited Rachel loves to sing and dance, not only at practice, but around the house as well, sometimes at inopportune moments. She is currently taking piano and horseback riding lessons.

Clay on the other hand, is all about sports. He loves baseball, football, and basketball. Clay plays on a select team in the area, as well as keller rec leagues and last year, played on the all star baseball team. His football team has played in the local super bowl games for the past three years. Every day after school and homework, you will find him out in the neighborhood playing the seasonal sport.

So when you see the Patton's around Keller, say Hi to our Family of the Month and tell them that you heard about them on OurGreatCity.com!
