I grew up in Wethersfield, living next door to Paul and Len. I have many fond memories going to their home on Christmas eve and being in awe of their beautiful shiny silver Christmas tree that would turn all different colors because of a special light they had that turned like a wheel and had all different color panels in it, red blue green and yellow . Later to be known as a color wheel. Paul and Len always treated my brother and I very special, especially on the holidays. That was back in the early 60's Rest in Peace Paul.
