"Mike" I've spent the last two months reading my brothers journals, as he instructed. He would have wanted several people to be able to leave comments and so I am allowing it at their request. Paul's love for others was less well known to me than previous. He was complex but he loved the people around him and those he kept in contact with, both here and especially aborad in Romania and England.<div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ShadowOfDiogenes?a=73-TS-UqmAw:a18_gQAgHSo:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ShadowOfDiogenes?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ShadowOfDiogenes?a=73-TS-UqmAw:a18_gQAgHSo:F7zBnMyn0Lo"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ShadowOfDiogenes?i=73-TS-UqmAw:a18_gQAgHSo:F7zBnMyn0Lo" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ShadowOfDiogenes?a=73-TS-UqmAw:a18_gQAgHSo:7Q72WNTAKBA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ShadowOfDiogenes?d=7Q72WNTAKBA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ShadowOfDiogenes?a=73-TS-UqmAw:a18_gQAgHSo:V_sGLiPBpWU"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ShadowOfDiogenes?i=73-TS-UqmAw:a18_gQAgHSo:V_sGLiPBpWU" border="0"></img></a> </div> tag:typepad.com,2003:post-6a00d8341c06d553ef0167679f5cb5970b 2012-06-17T06:28:05-04:00 2012-06-17T06:28:05-04:00
