This is a stumbling block for me. I know his father was married twice, and I know Paul's mother was Permelia Patterson. I do not know the name of his father's other wife as of yet. I have some good leads but don't want to say anything without proof. I believe he had a brother (whole or half I'm not sure) named John, and the relative he visited in Florida was nicknamed either Buddy or Buster. I wish I knew more. Speaking of Savannah, my son leaves tomorrow to go there to attend SCAD. I'll let you know if any of your names turn up, and please do the same thing. Thanks for your note.
