Biography

Smith was born in 1921 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. He suffered from severe spastic cerebral palsy from an early age. The loss of fine motor control of his face and hands made it impossible for him to attend school—or even eat, clothe, or bathe himself—and also made it difficult for him to express himself.

Paul never married and had no children. In 1967 he entered the retirement facility Rose Haven in Roseburg Oregon.[2]

gollark: Well, yes, they complete in probably a millisecond at most, but the aim is for all sane operations to take under 40ms.
gollark: However, these are not *that* fast and on larger high-link-density pages could increase rendering time substantially, and good rendering performance important?!
gollark: Too bad.
gollark: So, I can probably fix this if I make the page rendering step do some database lookups to case-insensitively match things (instead of statelessly generating slugs) and check aliases.
