Soon after his discharge from the Army, they moved to Ohio, and he went to work for Allied Moulded Products in Bryan and has been with them for the past 20 years. Paul was an avid glass collector (specifically uranium glass) and spent hours on a daily basis researching the origins of the pieces he found on his numerous antique trips and glass shows he attended.
