We were good friends Through grade school and through Oiler Junior High. We kind of lost touch when he went to West Hi and I Went to Central. I joined the Marine Corps in 64, not long after graduation. I also went to Viet Nam as a mortar man. I was home for several years before I heard about Jerry's death. I'm sure he's in heaven because he's served his time in hell.

• RichVanderpool said: I remember Paul when we were kids. I lived just 3 houses up the street from him on Delhi Ave. in Sedamsville. (It was a nice little community then) I was about a year and a half older than him. My best friend used to date his big sister, Daisy. I remember Paul was on the gymnastic team at Central High School. He used to put on a show for us on the sidewalk with his no hands back flips. Well. my friend and I joined the Marine Corps in 1964, so Paul was probably just a sophomore in high school. I was out for about a year before we got the tragic news about Paul. I think about him often. I sometimes think about why heads of countries have to send their young people to battlefields and kill each other all just to say I WON. There must be a better way. We miss you, Paul
