It's been a year of changes for Paul - including removing the beard he had for almost 40 years!
He made this decision because of two surgeries… one for a growth that had recurred in his sinuses and required extensive surgery last January… and the other was for an enlarged right thyroid - he was told it was the size of a cantaloupe - in August.
He is doing well now. The pictures show the progression of shaving off his beard as a goatee,
then a mustache, and then just Paul!
Yes, after all those years with a bearded man, it was a little unnerving
at times to turn around and see this "stranger" hanging around the house!
