Mary, Im very sorry to hear about Paul. He was a good office mate at Bell Labs. My favorite memory of him is when someone would come into our office and ask him something, he would sometimes say after they left, Now where was I ... before I was so rudely interrupted? I hope no one heard him and thought he was serious!
