I was sorry to learn just today of Paul's passing (1/25/21) He and I had reconnected briefly about 3 years ago when I went through Hinsdale on my way to a Road Scholar Program - and recognized the house as one we had visited from Schenectady, NY as children (probably 75 years ago now! (My Dad, Milton Pelkey, was Paul's father's brother.) I am grateful for our brief reconnection. And my gratitude to those who were kind and helpful to Paul in his later years. Blessings, Sister Clare Pelkey (cousin of Paul)
