Paul Christman

My name is Tory Christman, and my father was/is Paul Christman.

I say 'was' as he suddenly died in the early '70's due to a sudden heart attack he had, but I say "is" as I feel his spirit is with me, always. I'll tell you what I can about my Dad.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

First off, he was one of the nicest men I know, to this day. He had a terrific sense of humor, which many people have mentioned to me in my adult life. I'm sorry I don't have any clips to he speaking, but perhaps someone else will? I know he worked with Curt for NBC, and perhaps they have some of the old shows?

He was a Catholic, and grew up in St. Louis, Missouri. He went to the University of Missouri, and was an All-American there, as a Quarterback.

(Years later, after his death, Missouri University dedicated the bells on the campus to my Dad, which I'll try to find a link to, soon).

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

He met and fell in love with my Mom, Inez Potter there at University of Missouri, and soon after they married, and later had 3 children together.

I'll have to continue this, but there's much more :)

Thanks for making the page.
