Just wanted to add that Paul's son does, or used to, have a forum account (Twire, I believe). His account, however, does not appear in the forum memberlist at this time for some reason. I know he did pop by on occasion, and if there was only one thing Paul loved more than traction and Boston, it was surely his son. Here's hoping Twire finds peace during this difficult time.

Beyond being one of this forum's preeminent historians, he was without a doubt one of the nicest chaps around. He was a joy to read. Whether he was talking streetcar history or BPD or old-time Boston or rail miscellany he brought his subjects to life with humor and enthusiasm. It wasn't just information...he was painting vivid pictures of how an ever-chaotic city "worked" through the years. And that's rare.
