Remembrances

Paul was a top line dance teacher at faces, and at that time, nearly everyone who danced did hang around together and either clogged or square-danced in addition to line-dancing.
— Sonya Cox

Paul was a popular employee of Faces and a talented line-dance teacher with a charming personality. After a career as a food and beverage manager, he directed his attention to gay rights, and was a long-time campaigner for AIDS research.
