Michelle HickmanNotes
In December 2014, Michelle Hickman, daughter of Paul's son Gary, contacted us to show us her grandfather's scrapbook. We met Michelle, her mother Susan, and librarian Gina Bardi at the Maritime Museum library. They did not want to donate the album but allowed Gina to scan it for the SAFR Maritime Museum library and the Dolphin Club Archives. Sadly, Michelle's home in Calistoga burned in the Tubbs Fire in October 2017 and the scrap book was lost. The Archives sent Michelle a pdf copy in November 2017.
