Paul Henry Kidd Sr.

I am writing on behalf of my mother, Mrs. Marie Hill of Rayville. "Paul Kidd" was a 'house-hold' name during my teen years. (I am now 63!) Attorney Kidd worked closely with Mrs. Hill and other African-American teachers during the 60's as they toiled to improve educational opportunities for the children in our parish and state. I, as well as the youth who came after me, have benefited from his courage, determination and empathy. I know that he has a special place in Heaven!

Paul Kidd was greatly admired by me for his courageous stance and his loyalty to his ideals and principles. I appreciated his wit and wisdom. I feel our lives have been enriched and broaden by having known Paul and Nelda Kidd. My regret is that more people did not know the man.

Paul, so very deeply sorry for the loss of your Mentor, Friend, Father.

It was my privilege to be an employee and friend of Paul. He was a brilliant man with a twinkle in his eye and a mischievious nature. He took a courageous stand for civil rights when others stood silent. I will long miss my friend whom I loved. May the Lord grant comfort to his family, especially to his dear wife, Nelda.

Paul, I am so sorry to hear about your father. Praying for you and your family. He will never be forgotten..
