I worked with Paul at Dobbs Publishing from 1990 to 1994 when he was editor of Corvette Fever and I was managing editor of Mopar Muscle and tech editor for Musclecar Review. I started dating his editorial assistant back in 91. I remember him giving me the sage advice: &quot;Be nice to her or I'll kill you, kid&quot;. She and I have been married for 17 years now...and it's all Paul's fault. He was a heck of a matchmaker.

Very cool Steve! I guess it would be an understatement to say that Paul had an influence on your life [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/wink.gif[/img] I can just hear his voice giving you that &quot;advice&quot; [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/scholar.gif[/img]

We were also saddened to hear the news [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/frown.gif[/img]

Bill remembers how thrilled Paul was to be the first one to photograph the Bobcat for a magazine since 1969. He shot the car at the GM Tech Center (shortly after it's restoration) for an article he wrote in this issue of <span style="font-style: italic">Car Review</span>:



Tony~ Since this magazine came out in 1986, you may have read this in grade school [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/wink.gif[/img] (that's gonna make Bill feel OLD [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/crazy.gif[/img] LOL!)


We also got some sad news on New Years Day. We lost our friend Ed (ironically, he was also a Corvette and Pontiac Enthusiast!) He was very involved with our GTO club and was currently serving as the secretary.
Here he is at the GM Heritage Center a few years back (he's the &quot;taller&quot; one, on the right)




<span style="font-size: 11pt">RIP Paul and Ed!!!! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/worship.gif[/img] [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/worship.gif[/img] We will miss you both! </span>
