Oh Paul, you were missing from our classmate group for so long. I'm so very sorry your life was cut short by cancer. I wish we could have made contact with you after RBHS. I will always remember picking you up for school every day in my blue Comet. You called it the Blue Vomit. We'd pick up Tim & Marilyn & Sandy & really drive fast because I was always running late. We had a great group of friends & always managed to get into some mischief. I remember when your Dad sent you up to the Monastary on US 1 for a weekend to repent from some devilish activity, & Tim & Steve & probably Greg snuck some beer up there for you. Hey, what are friends for anyway. You can still repent after a few cold ones. And of course I'll always remember going to our Junior Prom together, double dating with Linda & Tim. You were so sweet to invite me, when Steve & I broke up just days before the big nite, since he'd fallen for another woman & I was stranded without a date. I'll always love those times we all had together. And I wish I could have told you all this & more, & reminisced with you in person, over a cold beer, of course. You'll always be part of the best time of my life. Wishing you wonderful soul journeys & Love.   Dubie
