There's an obituary of Paul Parsons at
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/06/05/AR2008060503521_3.html

Yesterday I went to the Paul Parsons memorial event.  There were lots
of Parsons family members, friends, coworkers, PRSFS members, PCSWDC
members, and others there -- about 60 people total.  Only one WSFA
member, however -- Walter Miles.  But then I left at about 4:00, and
the event was scheduled to last until 6:00, so others may have arrived
after I left.

It was interesting hearing about his many interests that I had no idea
about -- archaeology, geology, blues music, practical jokes, etc.  I
wish I'd known about them earlier, as some of them I would have liked
to discuss with him.
