To Paul's family, I'm sorry to hear of Paul's passing. we were cadets together at Mass. Maritime Acad back in the forties. Paul was a class behind me, but we had something in common, we both lived in Auburn. I lived on Harvard Drive until 1961 when I moved to the NY area to take a shore engineer's job for a steamship company. My sympathy to all his family. George Murphy, New Milford, NJ
