I just learned about Paul's death today!! October 31st! (I had somehow deleted my "subscription" to DDL, and hadn't been able to re-sign-up. He had just been to Halifax, on his way to DDL, and had delivered to me his last cache of a Green Tree Ointment that he and his business partner from St. Margaret's Bay had created years ago. It is an awesome ointment that works on (among many other things) dreaded cold sores!! I told him last week that it worked so well that even though I previously had been plagued by annual cold sores, once I used their ointment I never had another one, as I could feel them coming and would apply some stuff immediately. This is what happened just recently, and the ointment stopped it in it's tracks. "Lurch" was a long-time special friend from Boulder Days. Reading everyone else's contributions bring back so many memories of Paul! Thank you! And to Brenda -- than you for your love for and to Paul. Your very important presence in his life was a huge blessing! Sending much love to you and your family as you traverse the process of coming to terms with this huge and shocking loss.
