Subject: Paul Smith, Celebration of life
>
> We have just came from visiting with Judy and Michael.
>
> As expected Judy is shook up. But, as you would also expect, she is
trying very hard to make sure everyone is comfortable and their wants are
taken care of.
>
> Everything is not finalized for a celebration of Paul's life. But this
much is known.
>
> There will be a private family internment in the morning at Lakewood
preceeding the celebration.
>
> The celebration of life will take place at the American Legion hall on
South Santa Cruz in Modesto on Tuesday 11/25 in the afternoon.
> The actual time has not been determined at this writing. At this point
it will be from 3-6 pm, but a little earlier is being considered.
> Paul's cars will be there for all to see and his 2000 Roadster will be
in a prominate spot with room for the other roadsters to park near it.
> So if you can, bring all your Roadsters to park in that area
>
> In lieu of flowers, Judy has asked people to contribute to a memorial
fund she has established at Riverbank High school.
>
> The fund will be presented in Paul's name in the form of a scholarship
to a deserving automotive technical student.
> (She tried to set this up at Ceres High, but they didn't have one in
place).
>
> The one thing Judy impressed upon us was, Paul did not want a memorial
service or anything sad. He wanted a celebration.
>
> So we are counting on you to make it just that. Lets hear those Paul
Smith stories.
>
> There are millions of them. As there should be, because Paul always
believed "if you can't say something good don't say anything".
> I will get back with the final time for the celebration. See you there.
>
> Love, PeteNVivien, Judy and Micheal
