" I was a good friend and went to college with Paul Cottrel back in the late 1980's. At one time, Paul and I were emailing each other back and forth, but seem to part after bit. Paul worked the Board of Patrol the last I knew. Paul is 6'4 @ 240lb and grew up in South Bend, IN and went to college at Ball State University. Can you give me his status. Or have him get back to me somehow.
