I met Paul in 1976. His father was from Czech and he collected stamps. So we had something in common. His wife, Val, died in a car crash in 1988 and he and his two girls moved to Pukekohe and we lost touch. Paul is an engineer in a carpet factory. He went to school with Doug and worked with Doug A. at summer jobs. A big fellow and I reckon women would say he was cute. He didn't graduate from high school but back in those days that was normal and got an apprenticeship. He generally has nothing to say at our TP evenings - but seems to be the resident comic book expert. He likes to tease and have a good time. |
