Not sure what to say?

My condolences to the Hanson family. I remember my IT conversations with Professor at Harvard Divinity School, in the Andover IT Hallway and his office was in G19 . His conversations and his smile is missed.

My condolences to the Hanson family and my thanks for the kind and brilliant life of Paul Hanson. I arrived at HDS for the MDiv program in 1972 and audited his survey course. I remember well his voice. There were some contentious issues as we feminist students pressed for women on the faculty (there were none). Paul was steadfast in his calm support.

Paul was a great teacher and a very fine person. My condolences to Cynthia and family. Francis T Fallon, ThD, 1974.
