Paul was such a great little guy. He had his license before me and would sit in the passenger's side while I drove with my permit. Of all my closest friends, he was the only one (except maybe for Tony Campbell :)), who always seemed to have a steady girlfriend, and usually 2 or 3 others waiting in the wings. He would play a mean game of hoops with his brother Greg, Tom Gill, John and Jeff Harrison and me, even with his heart condition.

Having left Ashland in '74, I remember I ran into Steve Harvey at the '77 (I believe) state basketball tournament at Freedom Hall and I asked about Paul. Steve told me Paul had passsed only the week before.

It's hard to believe that Paul has been gone for 32 years. He never got to "grow up" and experience life as an adult. I remember when his family moved here from Buffalo in the early seventies. They lived on Sherwood Drive, not far from my best friend, Steve Brooks. We were amongst his first friends in Ashland. He got his license long before I did, and he'd often pull up in front of my house and honk his horn, and I'd usually hop in, not even knowing where we were going most of the time. I knew he had a heart defect but it was still a shock when he passed at such a young age.

I always knew him as "Woody" Jackson. He was a great guy, and I used to laugh my butt off at some of the stuff he'd come up with. He was quiet, but when he talked, he could zing someone without them even knowing it.
