Englehart's widow's take on Harry Liggett



Marge Englehart, widow of the late BJ State Desk editor Pat Englehart, after being told of today’s passing of Harry Liggett, said:

“Pat always had great, great respect for Harry and his ability.”

Pat was the fiery, whirlwind commander of the State Desk in the 1970s who drove reporters and editors to be the best that they could be and Harry was the guy who followed Pat and re-organized the chaos that Pat left behind.

Marge moved from Ocala, Florida to the Elks National Home in Bedford, Virginia seven years after Pat’s death in 1995. If you want to re-connect with Marge, who is 86 years old but who takes daily walks around the Elks retirement complex and drives herself to the grocery, her phone number is (540) 586-8232, extension 186.


Pat and Marge have four children: Andrew, a Cincinnati attorney and civil engineer; Peter, a former ABC producer, who lives in Texas; Phil, a professor at the University of Kansas; and Mary Pat, who is married to an architect and lives in Massachusetts.
