Paul was a staff sergeant in the United States Air Force for four years in the 1950’s. He was trained as a navigator, and was a Korean War veteran. He studied electrical engineering, and was employed at the Raytheon Company until his retirement in 1993. He had many accomplishments in his 30-year career, but he considered his five children his greatest success.
