A rabid reader of history, Paul claims to know who killed JFK but can't say out of fear for the safety of his oh-so-supportive wife Mary, his three wonderful kids, and his three spirited grandchildren. Paul counts among his passions Peterborough's rich live music scene, the Toronto Maple Leafs, slo-pitch, and retrieving golf balls from the woods.
