Wow, the picture of Paul at 80 shook me. I knew him quite well and saw him regularly for quite a period of years when I was the 'political thing/person' on the Venice Beach Boardwalk in L.A. He often came by while strolling the boardwalk, and hung out at my table, which was full of Iran-Contra; CIA; NSA; FBI; JFK and other such information and posters, etc. Many an uninformed American [and others] learned a thing or two new at that table - and I learned a lot about the past political goings on from Paul and other long-committed 'old timers' who stopped to talk. Well, come to think of it, I'm not as young as I was back then either..... He was always very friendly, humorous, intelligent, informed, generous and kind :joystick: A very decent person and freedom fighter - still going strong at 80!
