Paul Frye's claim to fame was that he was Pam Berry's first boyfriend back in elementary school. Paul's family moved away from Roswell when he was in Jr. High or early high school days, but he always felt a kinship to Roswell and this class. He found a few of us and became active in helping plan our 40-year reunion. Paul was a great wildlife photographer and served as our official photographer at the reunion. I was sorry to learn he had passed away about three years later. He was living in San Diego at the time and was retired. RIP
