Patsy (Hamm) Dillingham began skating in 1942 when she and her family moved from Eatonville to Lakewood. Hamm and her partners won the Northwest and Pacific Coast Junior Pairs and Ladies Pairs events by 1948. In 1949 Hamm won the Northwest Novice Ladies title and placed fourth in the U.S. North American team Senior Pairs. Her success continued in 1950 when she won Northwest Junior Ladies and Northwest and Pacific Coast Senior Pairs championships. Hamm, a Clover Park graduate, began skating professionally in 1951 and teaching classes at the Lakewood rink. Among her top students were Jerry and Julianne Fotheringill, two-time national pairs champions. Hamm was inducted into the Tacoma Sports Hall of Fame in 2005. All are identified in notes on the reverse of the photo.
