CARLOS AND PAUL

Carlos had been named after a son who had been born to Mr. and Mrs. Cardanha, and died in infancy. After graduation from Providence College, Carlos began working at the Furniture Store. As a matter of fact all four sons helped out at the store during the summers when they became old enough to work. Carlos expressed a desire to learn how to install linoleum, tile and carpeting and we had him go to an Armstrong school, and he became a good floor covering mechanic. He had always been active in water skiing and had been a member of the Lincoln Water Ski Club, and eventually became active in the American Water Ski Association, and later became a representative of a water ski boat manufacturer.

In 2009, Carlos was honored [for his lifetime contribution] by the Water Ski Association for his many years as a judge and a boat driver. [Carlos had become the youngest to attain ranks of Senior Judge AND Senior Boat Driver.]

Paul graduated from East Providence High School in 1969 and went on to Wentworth Institute in Boston. He was very interested in computers (of which I have NO knowledge and why I am not able to put down on paper exactly what he does.) While in Boston he worked part-time at a “computer” company nearby, and quit school before getting a degree after he was offered a job. He changed jobs (for better pay?!) and as of today (2009) he is working in San Jose, CA. His company has had him [go] on trips to Europe and Asia. Why? I don’t know. Apparently he knows why and likes it.

In 1972, Paul married his Bristol sweetheart, Claudia Cameron, and they have two children, Jonathan born November 23, 1972, and Bethany, born May 10, 19??.

Jonathan and Bethany spent their summers in Bristol Narrows in the water. Jonathan eventually attended boat building school in Maine and is presently working in the boat building industry in Salem, MA, and married Amy Brown in November of 2010. Bethany eventually found her way to Boulder, CO led by a college classmate and is now a hairdresser.
