So I have been sadly delayed responding to this news. Like everyone else it was a shot from somewhere in the back and I am still processing, unsuccessfully as of this evening. I have never met Paul in person but exchanged some PMs. He gave my son, a budding USN officer some sincere advice that he has carried on in his USN career.

Paul is the best of this community, smart, empathetic, and experienced. My prayers to the entire family and please give him a kiss from all of us.
