As Berkeley neighbors and friends of Paul we are so very sorry to hear of his passing but we rejoice in our many memories of him and we are so happy that he was able to finish his book which we have passed on to other friends. Interestingly, we are reading "The Orientalist" right now and were speaking of Paul just yesterday and thinking that we would ask him if he had read it and, if so, what he thought about it. We valued his opinion. He was an important part of our lives and we will remember him always. He lived a full and important life and he mattered, which is a model to each of us. Our sympathy to his family.

Sincerely,

Janet and David Peoples
