Paul was married to my cousin, Betty Siniard Tennison, and we visited them from FL. His wood work making custom doors with carvings and building the log cabin were perfection. When building the log cabin, he made a boom to raise a huge, heavy and solid beam up to the second floor to build the frame of the building without any help. He cut trees from their property for hardwood to build the log cabin on their spring fed scenic creek.
