I just received word that a long time friend, Paul Dawson, died today at the age of 36 from complications from Lou Gherig's disease.
Paul was an amazingly funny, & bright guy who could win over anyone & make them laugh. Before his illness, he could work wonders with engines & was fascinated by how things work. When he was in his early 20's, he was a mechanic on the Fuji blimp.
I first met Paul when he was the 14 year old brother of two dear college friends. He became a great friend to me as well. He will be missed by everyone he ever met.
