Carl Waldemar Paulson
(1910 - 1929)


My namesake, my fathers younger brother and Oscar`s twin. I never met him. He died in an auto accident the same year he graduated from High School. The following is quoted directly from his HS yearbook:

'Carl`s mass of blond locks and his blue eyes have made him the target for many arrows shot by one Mr. Cupid at the request of a bevy of admiring girls. Reports state that Carl is bashful, but said bevy of admirers have never verified these rumors.' .. 'Carl`s special delights are big cars, small girls, and nice sweaters.'

From what I hear about him, I would have liked to have met him.

Carl died in Nov 1929, when he was hit by a car while replacing a flat tire on his car.


(I`m sorry, I couldn`t get a better picture of him. The one to the left was initially zeroxed from the copy of the yearbook that is kept in the Ridgefield Park HS library.)
