I'm proud to have known and served with Paul. I have always remembered him and the rest of his crew. Someday we'll meet again, Brother. Rest in peace.
Thanks Mrs. Dew, Maureen, and Meg for having gotten back to me.

I grew up with Paul from the fourth grade. Paul was always like a brother to me and another son to my parents. It wasn't too often that we weren't doing something together. Some of the best times together were playing sports all through grade school and the first year of high school. We then split up schools, but not our friendship. To this day I have a hard time thinking of Paul and keeping dry eyes. He always was and always will be in my thoughts and prayers. I will never ever forget about him and the sacrifice he made.

The rope itself was drawn into the tail rotor and severed, apparently causing damage to the tail rotor drive system, because tail rotor RPM wound down to a near stand-still. As it did so, main rotor torque caused the Huey to rotate to the right. Witnesses could not agree on the number of rotations, but did agree on three things:
