I joined the Ottawa Civil War Round Table, along with my husband, during the 2007-2008 season. Several years later, I became the Program Co-ordinator for the OCWRT. As I began to draw up the schedule each season, I knew I didn't have to worry about finding a speaker or an interesting topic for our lead-off month, September. That spot, or occasionally October, was reserved for Paul Hinch! I heard him give nine presentations over the years, including his final one on October 29, 2015 - "Gettysburg Interactive: A Chance to Second-Guess the Generals." Some months later, I did recognize his distinctive chortle while listening to a phone-in medical program as he explained a mix-up between an appointment he was supposed to have with a neurologist, not a urologist! Thanks to Dave Morgan, we received sporadic updates about Paul and were concerned to hear of his deteriorating health. We will remember him fondly.
