[Nmcaver] Paul Stevens

[Steve Peerman]

Hi all!
	As most of you know, Paul Stevens, former president & treasurer of  
the NSS, has lived in Las Cruces for the last several years, and  
suffers from ALS (Lou Gehrig's disease).  Even with his condition,  
Paul has been active in the Mesilla Valley Grotto.    However, he and  
his wife, Lee, have now decided it is time for Paul to say goodbye.
	Last night, Lee organized a "Celebration of Life" for Paul, with  
many of their friends and family.  It was a wonderful and uplifting  
event.  Paul and Lee's longtime friend, Cheryl Jones, has suggested  
that everyone who knows Paul take a moment at noon tomorrow (Monday,  
July 16), to offer a toast to his life.   By that time, he will have  
been released from the shackles of this debilitating disease and  
exploring a virgin cave that none of the rest of us have seen.

	We will miss you, Paul.

"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things  
you didn't do than by the ones you did. So throw off the bowlines,  
Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in you sails.  
Explore. Dream. Discover."
     attributed to Mark Twain, but no record exists of his having  
written this.
