Paul Tucker Davis "Tall Paul"  10/1/1993

Yes, Paul really is as large as he looks in the picture! At age 14, he is 6'6" and weighs 236 pounds. We figure it must be all the hormones in the chicken nuggets that he ate for almost every meal as a toddler.

Paul started playing T-ball at age 4 and soccer and basketball at age 5. After a few years, he dropped soccer to play fall baseball then later dropped fall baseball for football. We had a "one sport per season" rule, but the seasons seemed to overlap and, like his sister, Paul was always on a rec league and a travel team for basketball. At least that gave him little time for his favorite sport - video games.

The move to Jr High made life a little easier for Jim and I - at least then most practices were immediately after school and car pooling became less of a problem. Now, as Paul enters the ninth grade, he has been pulled up from the 9th grade basketball and football teams to the JV/Varsity.

In addition to football, basketball and track, Paul loves to hunt, fish, ski, and play paintball. He is an excellent student and very responsible when asked to take care of the dogs when Jim and I go out of town.
