Here’s to the first long-term friend I made at Marquette! After 22 years Paul still speaks to me despite “ruining” his life for introducing him to his wife Helen. Actually, his parents would blame me for this in all probability. Nah, they like her. Helen has a strong opinion about her football team of choice unlike me.
Hopefully Paul will have some kind of separate celebration to acknowledge his birthday. I only wish we (his dorm buddies) had the opportunity to return the favor for him, especially the elements involving puking. Maybe we had a make-up data before or after the Christmas-New Year break? Probably after, we were too busy stressing during the before period.
If you know him, drop him a line. Wish him well. These days he’s working really hard in the Washington, DC area.
