In the many years that I have returned to Flint to meet with Paul's father I never had the opportunity to spend much time to get to know young Paul. On my last visit. when I came to pay my respects to my life long friend Paul senior I had the opportunity to spend quite a bit of time talking with Pauli. I feel very fortunate that we had that time to talk before Pauli became ill. I became aware of how much he loved...
