More Stories...Please!!!

I, like others, still sit here thinking that he would be with us for ever. The profoundness of his stories still resonate about us. So much so, that recently my Principal asked if I could get that "Quircky Professor" I always talk about to come do a staff development for our school to open the school year. As one could imagine, my eyes welled up with tears and I just could not bring myself to admit that in fact he couldn't. All I could do is utter, "Ill see." I somehow feel that Paul would see that as silly, but after reading all that everyone has posted I know that I was truly blessed to have been able to explore the world and myself with him and all that have attended his summer institues. I have always told people that I learned more in the two to three weeks at Bryn Mawr each summer than I did in my 4+ college and graduate years. I think it is a great credit to Bryn Mawr for recognizing the brilliance of Paul and what he brought to the world. I somehow find myself drawn as much to all your "stories" about Paul as I was to the man himself. Thank you all for sharing your stories and enriching my life by telling them. Like him, they are a treasure!
