Today I heard from Dr. Kempinski again after he visited Paul in the new hospital. He said that Paul’s condition was pretty much unchanged and that his ability to speak has not improved any. The hospital where Paul is now housed is not a long term facility and he is permitted to stay there only [...]

I had further word from Dr. Kempinski today. He indicates that he saw Paul and that his condition is about as it was the last time they visited together. Paul is talking some but not as articulately as he used to speak. The newest development is that on Thursday of this week Paul will be [...]
