Since then, the presentation is available on the Gauverband website.

Don’t miss your opportunity to be part of this historic event.

Paul was elected as a Director, or Gaubeisitzer, at the Delegates Meeting held in Milwaukee in 1972, served in that capacity until his death, and had become the face of the Beisitzer, and the Gauverband, at nearly every meeting since. Paul, with his quick-witted style, took roll call, ran the Administrative Sessions, led numerous Schafkopf Workshops, and then gave entertaining reports of all of the above.
