Paul's Story

I went to Lewis & Clark undergrad and University of Oregon law school, then moved off to San Francisco for a few years of adventure. I retired in 2018 after 44 years practicing law in San Francisco, building a top firm, living in Piedmont. I married and have three great sons, who are all married and three granddaughters.

lot of time in London and built many good friendships there. My earlier work was as lead defense counsel for most of the major US ski resorts for 25 years through a Lloyd's program, and I moved into pollution coverage litigation and class actions in my later years.

Early November is my favorite time at Lake Tahoe, after the summer crowds have gone and before the ski season begins. You can visit the best restaurants. No traffic. The days are cool, clear and crisp. It is quiet, beaut
I pause to say farewell and rest in peace to George Austin, who died last week. George was a young Communication Theory instructor who recruited me in high school 56 years ago to attend Lewis & Clark College on a promise o
A perfect day down at Speedboat Beach with the granddaughters.
Sheltering at Tahoe and the sunset gives hope.

After 2 1/2 months finally back to heaven.
After a record dry February, I woke at Tahoe this morning to find a foot of fresh powder on bedroom deck rail. Maybe March will be a snowy one.
Finally! There is someone in the family who thinks my jokes are funny. (but it might be gas) This is Ana, granddaughter 3.

This afternoon with nobody around. My heaven.
Saying goodbye to an old friend of 31 years today--the giant pine in the middle of the courtyard at Tahoe, as the first step toward a major remodel. Will miss the tree, but not cleaning up the six garbage bags of pine need
So granddaughters Emily and Kaitlin went to work with their dad and succeeded in taking over the Morning Show. Look out Sacramento!
