excerpt from PLEASANT MEMORIES
Most memories along the trail,
Are treasures you'll want to keep;
The things that make you content,
They're all there for you to reap.
Do not linger on the bad times,
But dwell on every sweet thing;
That fills your soul with happiness,
Pleasant memories they will bring.

About the Author
Born in Fall River, Massachusetts in 1952 Paul grew up in Somerset; a small town across the Taunton River. He lived in Somerset until 1994 then moved to Cranston, Rhode Island near the Roger Williams Zoo. In March of 2001, Paul moved to Meredith, New Hampshire with his wife Joanne and their 21 month old son Jonathan. They now reside in the town of Groton, NH; population 600. Paul has also been blessed with four other children, ages twenty-three through thirty, who are living in Canada, Massachusetts, Michigan and Rhode Island. After the World Trade Center tragedy of September 11, 2001, Paul felt the need to do more so he joined the local on call volunteer fire department and graduated from the New Hampshire Fire Academy as a Pro Board Accredited Firefighter in March of 2003. At about the same time, Paul was approached by an Army recruiter and asked about his military background. That June, he was again sworn into the Army National Guard and ordered to report to Fort Sill, OK in September 2003 for re-training. Due to Paul’s debilitating arthritic condition however, he was found unfit for deployment and was given a second Honorable Discharge in March of 2004. Paul received his first one in August of 1981 after serving for 10 years as FDC Chief with Delta Battery 1/211 Field Artillery out of Fall River. Due to another medical problem, he is no longer able to serve as an on call Firefighter. Paul hopes that through his poetry, he can still help others in some small way. His first book,
