Reply #90: Bay isn't Catholic anymore, unless she rejoined after

[KC21304]

this 1995 article.

Bay was one of nine children in the sprawling, devoutly Catholic Buchanan family. Pat, ten years her senior, would occasionally pat her head on his way out the door. It was when Pat joined the incipient Nixon campaign in the mid 1960s that Bay first awakened to politics. By the time she was in college and Pat in the Nixon Administration, she had developed a fighting faith: "Pat was there, Nixon was controversial, so I had to make certain . I had to defend my brother."

Bay took leave from McGill to join the fray herself in the Nixon re-election campaign in 1972. Afterwards she finished her degree, then taught for a year before living briefly in Australia, where she converted to Mormonism. Back in the States, she worked as treasurer of the Reagan campaigns in both 1976 and 1980. In 1981, she became at age 32 the youngest Treasurer of the United States ever. She married and had three children, whom now, after a divorce, she raises alone
