Antwan,
I have emailed Paul’s brother asking him for pictures and some imformation about Paul as he was growing up. I must tell you that he had sent me an email before about Paul being an OH-6 Door gunner. I never heard back from him but maybe this time he will email back. I told him it was for you. It is 10:40PM and I am tired. I will write you more tomorrow as far as what Paul did in Vietnam.

Hello, My name is Robert Bryant. I knew Paul as a teenager. I knew his two brothers too. I went to the beach, surfed and partied with Paul in our high school years. He was a very kind, friendly person and I really liked him. I was in the Navy from 1966-1968 off Vietnam serving as a plane captain aboard aircraft carriers. My detachment was a Cubi Pt,Philippine Island.
When I got out and home in 1968, I felt lost and confused and became a hippy. Later when I heard that Paul was killed in Vietnam, I was hurt and greatly saddened. I lost touch with John.
I was also friends with his buddies, Greg Miller and Steve McClintock among others from Lemon Grove and Spring Valley. I appreciated your tribute and memorial to Paul
Sincerely, Robert Bryant, Spring Valley,CA
