Rita,
My wife was Paul's official English translator from 1987 to around 1993, when we got married. She would edit his writings from Florida English to real English. I'd always hear them yelling at each other in the hallway. He'd write something like: "the car needed restored" and she would go bonkers trying to remind him that the correct phrasing involved the use of the words "to be" as in "the car needed to be restored." Sometimes I think he would write that stuff just to get a violent reaction from her. It was quite the fun time back then. Dobbs Publishing Group was a nice, family oriented place and the people there were very much like the quirky cast of "The Office." |

Another one of those guys who probably did not realize how many lives he touched. Well respected, well informed, and a wealth of information to many people.
Sign me up as one of those who read his stuff in my formative youth. He will be missed!!!! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/flag.gif[/img]
