The year was (I believe) 1971. A great summer spent spinning records, playing flashlight tag, playing Little League baseball & wiffleball, and going on a weekend trip to the cabin near Penn State. My sister Debi, my brother Scott & I did stuff daily with Mr. Novotny's kids Sue and Steve. Good memories & fun times! I never got to know Mr. Novotny very well, but I do recall a trip we went on with Steve & Sue and parents up to their cabin near Penn State. Thanks to Mr. Novotny, we spent a few days enjoying the woods and also riding on the back of his Honda 70 Mini Trail motorcycle. After the charlie horses wore off I told myself I would someday ride with my face in the wind, which I did for many years.

In the years that followed I recalled drving by the house on Kingston Road many times seeing Paul outside cutting the grass, planting and caring for the flowers in the front yard. He always had a great looking property!

I'm truly sorry for your loss and pass my condolences to Sue and Steve, Connie and everyone else in the family.
