Not sure what to say?

My father, John Olson, Wesleyan '51, who died July 2, 2017, was a lifelong friend of Paul Carter. We have kept Paul's books.

I would not have graduated from the University of Arizona, if Dr. Carter had not taken an interest in me as a struggling student, and worked with me to improve my academic skills. Then, I developed a love for history and knowledge. Thanks to Dr. Carter.

An impressive professor...

My name is Brian Allen Carter. I am the oldest son of Paul Allen Carter. I am proud, very proud, to be the oldest son of Paul Allen Carter.

Mom and I read Paul's books together. In the months before she passed away in 2011, while she was bed-ridden, we read his book on science fiction magazines. She was keenly interested in it. She enjoyed corresponding with him by phone and letter. I will never forget how he brightened her life in those final months.

My Sincerest Condolences. I have many great memories of Paul and had many interesting conversations with him where he would answer my silly questions about history. I grew up in the same neighborhood with the family and knew his oldest son quite well. I wish I had stayed in touch. Again I send my prayers and thoughts to his whole family.

Churchill, 1921: "Every day you may make progress. Every step may be fruitful. Yet there will stretch out before you an ever-lengthening, ever-ascending, ever-improving path. You know you will never get to the end of the journey. But this, so far from discouraging, only adds to the joy and glory of the climb."

Paul Carter - U.S. Navy Great Lakes Training Center, ca. 1944
