I met Paul in 6th grade, Stanford Elementary

I post this just so people will know how long ago Paul started in science. He and I were in 6th grade, Junior High and Senior High together. Both of our fathers were teaching at Stanford. My clearest memory of Paul in 6th grade was doing a science project with him. It had to do with watching mice go through a simple maze and then teaching them to go through it differently. It was my first experience with someone cussing too! We had to mark the mice to tell them apart so we notched their ears. Paul would hold them and I would do the dirty work. Only he got bitten and, oh my, what words!

I also remember him riding to a dance on a bicycle in high school with his date on the handlebars. I'm not sure if his car broke down or what, but I have that image stuck in my brain.

I'm so sorry to hear that he is gone, but I am delighted to see all the good work he left behind.
