I count Morris Paul as my very first childhood friend when we were living in the West End of Louisville back in the 40's. I've thought of him many times over the years, wondering where his life had taken him, so was deeply touched to discover his obituary this week. I would like to honor our friendship and his memory by offering condolences to his family.
Sincerely, Karen Krause Noer
