Paul's Story
Life
The picture I have posted was taken Christmas of 2001. It includes my wife Dianne and grandson, Colby and our daughters and sons-in-laws, Jan and Ron (on the left) and Kelly and Jack (on the right). Colby belongs to Kelly and Jack. We since have been gifted with two more grand children, (both girls), one from each couple, in April of this year (2003). Dianne and I have been married for thirty-seven years...she is a full time "grandmother" and I am a Southern Baptist minister. I had originally intended a career in the Army, but was medically retired in 1972 as a result of wounds received in Viet Nam, while serving as a Platoon leader with the 82nd Airborne Division.

Some Army time, including Viet Nam and a year and a half in the hospital afterwards and seven years in business brought some focus. From '79-81 I did a Master's at Stetson University. From '98-'02, I completed a Doctorate. It is amazing what a little age, some responsibility, a little focus and some purpose will do for your output.
Military
Where else can a 23 year old have control over artillary, helicopter gun ships, fast movers and lead men in the face of others trying to do you harm. My time with the 82nd Airborne will always stand out as a once in a lifetime opportunity. I would not give that time and experience up for anything.
