I spoke to Paul and his girlfriend on New Year's Day and wanted to let you
know that he is making the transition back to his own digs in Portland. He's
been living with his girlfriend in Salem, which is about an hour south of
Portland for the past many months and had been relying on her for
transportation. This meant that trips back to his house and shop were brief
and sporadic. Now that he can get around on his own and live in his own place
he can start getting back to his normal routine. This should help immensely
with his frame of mind ... he'd been having nightmares about his shop being
burgled and all the tools and inventory stolen, etc., etc.
Please note that as of 01/01/09 he still does not have internet service and,
for some reason I don't fully understand, might be without it for a while
longer. However, he can be reached via his landline should the need arise.
I also wanted to let you know that he considers the donations to the Paul A
fund to have been, in his own words, "an absolute lifesaver". Remember, these
sources of these donations were kept anonymous. Therefore, Paul wouldn't know
exactly who to thank ... but, he is extremely appreciative of your efforts on
his behalf.
Thanks,
Pete
