Donna
I had the privilege of working with Paul and learning from him during his career at Battelle. Our careers go back far enough where I remember playing softball with him at Goudy Field. (You won't recall it but you, Paul and my wife and I even went to dinner a few times). I had a tremendous respect for Paul and spoke briefly at his retirement. Have thought of you often and wondered where you ended up. Would enjoy hearing about your retirement years.
