In his final days and at his passing he was surrounded by family and friends and is survived by his son, Peter Paik (Colleen), his daughter, Mia (Myung) Scheid and grandchildren Cassi, Danielle, Ray and Hailey.

One Year

Today is the first anniversary of Dr. Paik's passing. I spent time thinking about him and his family over the weekend. Spent an equal time thinking about the many lessons he taught and how important my time with him was.

Anniversary

This is really another "no news" update, but, maybe it will spark some thoughts and comments.

Those of us watching the calendar note that the first anniversary of Dr. Paik's passing is rapidly approaching. Many of us had thought, when we gathered at Dr. Paik's memorial service, that we might try and organize some sort of reunion. Its probably already too late to get something together for July 10 or 11; but, its not to late to get something on for late July or August.

If anyone has any thoughts or suggestions, they ought properly to go to Peter or Mia first. If any arrive here, I'll forward them.

Thank you.

"No News" Update

Just a note to let you all know that as the new year begins, I find that often my thoughts include Dr. Paik and family.

There is an effort underway for a reunion of sorts. More on that as it develops. Probably later in the Spring when the weather turns nicer.
