While teaching at Clay High School Kim and Mark were students in my class and I later met Paul, possibly at a school "parent visitation" night. We had a spirited conversation about Clay High School sports and the merits of attending Hillsdale College. Then in the early 2000's, while a member of a Toledo area workout club, I met a fellow who worked with Paul. He mentioned how Paul was well known for his directness in union gatherings. My condolences to Mark and Kim and the Puls family.
