Utah State - FIRE!

One incident occurred at the Paul home that winter that was frightening, entertaining and later in life laughable. One Saturday morning, with us all in the home; four children and three adults someone said “I smell smoke.” We quickly began looking. Lonnie going into the children’s bedroom saw smoke coming from the clothes closet. Opening the door obtained instant fire. The house was on fire. A quick call for help and fast work on Lonnie and my part kept the fire to tow closets and one bedroom. The big loss was the children’s clothes and some of the wood-work. How did the fire get started? Little four year old Robert Bud Paul went into the closet with matches and lit the fire and then closed the door. We never let him forget and still kid him to this day. He is only now general manager of AMCOR, the company I helped build and he now manages.
