Paul’s voice and program were always a welcome blast from hom when I first got to Japan and lived alone . Learned a lot from him as well . His recommendation of The Children’s Alphabet set ( Forget The ABC’s Phonics-like approach to learning how to read ) influenced my purchase of it , and subsequently thousands of Japanese kids that I’ve taught can read thanks to Paul’s program .
Every time I hear Paul on the radio it takes me back to my dad smoking a White Owl while driving us on a pre-interstate federal highway, passing through small towns.
