What the yearbook said
Although we don’t pretend to be prophets, it seems inevitable that Paul will eventually be a future commander of a Pan-American clipper, or maybe a chief executive of one of the Country’s leading airlines. At any rate, with Paul it’s aeronautics from start to finish. Paul expects to continue his interest in aeronautics. Second only to this is his interest in his breadbasket. (Watch the belt-line, Paul).
