Paul actually went to the University of Maryland and graduated in 1960 after serving in the military for 7 years.  But he wanted to keep his mind active and wanted to see what he may have missed or what has changed. Paul said on his second day, he answered one question then kept his mouth shut LOL! He says going to classes has reinvigorated him and makes him feel young again.
