Captain Edwin C. Paul, USN (CEC) Ret., died Mar. 2, 1998, of pneumonia in San Rafael, Calif.

Ted, born in Trenton, N.J., came to Princeton in July 1942 from Exeter. He joined the Navy V1 program at Cornell in Dec. 1942, graduating there in 1945 in civil engineering. He continued for 32 years in Navy engineering, serving in many posts in the Pacific, England, and on the East Coast. He joined Bechtel Corp. in 1974 and worked in San Francisco, Washington, D.C., Canada, and Saudi Arabia. He retired in 1983 and bought a 32-ft. Grand Banks Trawler to sail in the Bay Area. He was Commodore of the Loch Lomond Yacht Club in San Rafael and of the Predicted Log Racing Assn. of Northern California.

Ted is survived by his wife, Dorothy Short (daughter of Rear Admiral E.T. Short), three daughters, Karen Bathgate, Capt. Cindy Dillon, USN, and Anne Doyle, and five grandchildren. Our class extends to them our sincere sympathy.
