But, I always wonder if the names and stories spark any reaction. Anyway, Dave Hyde sends his regards, too, to both of you.

...Friends from the PKD forum on Facebook...<br /> <br /> Aharon Varady posts: Thank you so much Paul. I first heard you on your recordings you made of your interviews with PKD in 1974. I'm so grateful that you helped bring him to the attention of a wider audience. Your curiosity and passion for sharing your discoveries and insights has brought new intelligence into the world. It has helped me meet and make friends I would have otherwise never known. Thank you.<br /> <br /> Nick Buchanan says: Paul was a singularity - what he did for the estate and more importantly for the work of Philip K.Dick (and later for Theodore Sturgeon) was a staggering achievement. Unlike so many Dickheads today, he was slow to promote himself and never used his knowledge of Phil to generate status or rank.<br /><br />I had a few hours one to one with Paul at a bar in the UK (at the first PKD 'Celebration') He was thoughtful, kind, catholic in his tastes and immensely knowledgeable. I kept in touch via email. I wept when I heard of his 'deterioration' after the accident. I miss him.<br /> <br /> David Gill writes: Dear Paul, Thank you so much for all you have done. Have a wonderful birthday with your loving family. You are missed and appreciated, and I wish you well on your journey going forward. You are a truly special, one of a kind person, and you've left the world a better place as a result of your time in it.<br /><br />Hope you can share the warm sentiments with Paul. Again, hugs, *** jami <br /> <br /> OLDER POSTS <br /> <br /> Ted Hand<br /> The late, great Philip K.

My connection to Paul is because of the Philip K. Dick Society and all the help he provided for my novel about Phil.

My my dear friend, Larry Greenfield, said being a music lover and budding journalist required that I meet you. Boy, was he right (He usually is. He's a wise fellow). You gave me a few copies of Crawdaddy and Das Energi. Your words changed a young music writer's life and I can't thank you kindly enough for it. Every now and I again, I'm invited to speak at schools about music writing and you can bet all the sand in Cali that your name gets mentioned to those kids. Cheers and many blessings to you on your day!
