With the permission of Paul's wife (Barb) I am sorry to report the passing of Paul Bender, longtime member and past Convention Set-up and Teardown Director.

I express my condolences to all of his friends and family. The picture below was from 2020 with Paul holding his Janice O'Neal, Book of the Year Award, for "The Joints of Jeffersonville and Southern Indiana". Paul will be missed.
