I am reading a book "The Lioness of Boston" about Isabell Stewart Gardner and read the scene of the inaugural swan boat ride with her, her 3 nephews and Robert Paget. I had to look up him and learn about him. I came upon Paul Paget and this most beautiful legacy of your family, the creation of the swan boats, and the tie to Boston´s history! I am so very sorry for your loss but am so grateful to your families´ part in adding to what makes us proud of Boston.

My deepest sympathies to all of the family. Paul's grand daughter, Grace Swardstrom assists in the care of my Mom. She is highly in-tune and caring to my Mom and I am sure she has inherited her warmth and tenderness from her grandfather. Sending love and healing to all at this time.

Hello Mark, It has been so, so many years since the days at Popponesset... I heard of your father's death and wanted to say how sorry I am. He left a great legacy not only with the Swan boats and I am sure so many things in his life that I am not aware of. In addition, it sounds like a great extended family, Be well, Meredith

Very sorry to hear of Mr Paget's passing. I will always remember my summers working for him at the Swan Boats very fondly. He was my first boss and one of the best! My condolences to the Paget family.
