I´m so sorry to hear of Paul´s passing. I was a friend from the Navy. Met in A school dated a minute & he came to visit me in Guam & also in Oregon & would call my parents every Xmas & in his cute accent say marry Christmas ma & pa pickett! They loved it. He also came to Cali to see me in the 80´s. I´m so very sad as I´m in Cincy right now hoping to connect w/him & I see this! So sad RIP my friend & have some fun there say hi to "ma & pa pickett"! Wish I could find more pics. This was us in Guam doing what we did back then
