I was fortunate enough to work in Laconia High School’s library when Paul was a student there. Fortunate, in that LHS was a wonderful place. I loved the students. Clearly, Paul was one LHS’s academic stars. He was also a very joyful, engaged individual, respectful and, as I recall, helpful to all those who needed his help. I loved his curiosity and enthusiasm for life!
