Here is some reassuring photographic evidence for those of you who may have been concerned that Paul has not been able to see Maxe since his stroke. The picture is dated February 24, 2009. It was sent to Paul at his Gmail address by Wolfi Petri, who is apparently a member of the [...]

For a little over a week, I’ve been talking with Paul almost daily. Usually our conversation lasts no more than about 10 or 15 minutes, but it has been regular direct contact with him which has been encouraging to us both.
