About Me
I was born and raised on a wheat farm near Lindsborg,Kansas, then college at K-State and law at Georgetown. I practiced patent law in NYC for 40 years. Married and have 3 sons,all in NYC. Retired in 2003, totally disabled and have been on a trach, ventilator, feeding tube since Jan, 2004. I have been using an eye-responsive computer for past two years with good success, including e-mail and Internet accessibility. With my eye only, I just published my Memoir, "Not in Kansas Anymore." which includes a detailed chronicle of my ALS experience. Available by email to mepaulson@rcn.com.
