I have known Paul since the day I started teaching at Marton long ago first as a colleague, then as a badminton player, a singer in the college choir, an actor in the college play later as a senior manager and in the past few years as an employer! But always as a friend.Paul was one of those people who kept in touch with everybody and if you wanted news - Paul was the man. What will we do now? Who will I sit next to at the Grangefield Remembrance Day Service in November? Who will I ring when I need a maths teacher par excellence to help a student on the way to a university and a career. Others have said it too but what we will all remember is that smile, that laugh,that decency and humanity which will live again when generations of students say to their children "Paul Graham was my maths teacher.He was a great guy".
