Patricia McBride or Kay Mazzo

I hope canbelto will correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't we supposed to choose from the last pair? Otherwise some pairings may end up ignored, which really isn't fair to s/he who posted. If you want to enter a This-ir-That but the last choice is not in your experience, you can either wait until we get something you can answer honestly, or just pick one arbitrarily!

Looks to me like the last choice, from printscess, is Patricia McBride or Kay Mazzo.
