I had the pleasure and the privilege to work alongside Paul for a few years when Marton Sixth Form merged with Longlands College. I remember his humour, his grin, his knowledge, his patience. I also remember Paul and I dressing up in female attire (for charity, of course): I suspect he found it more difficult given that he was taller than I but that did not discourage him. He also enticed me back into the 'Old Stocktonians' and like me many will now miss that familiar annual call from Paul to pay our 'subs'. Above all, I shall remember that warm and infectious smile. Paul, the world is a better place for you having graced its stage. Martin F Peagam (Old Stocktonian)
