I just found this obit. Paul and I were roomates in Alton, Ill. Both of us were sporatic students at SIU. He went to Seattle and I went to Vietnam. Both of us played bass. I owe him for a parking ticket and he owes me a beer.

Dear Lena,
I met your father online via our mutual love of family history, and we shared several wonderful phone conversations. He was such a fantastic friend! I offer my sincere wish that you will receive the love and care from all those who loved him so!
Yours truly, Pam Lynn
