The author's parents and grandparents and several aunts, as far back as he remembers, frequently told him to finish school and go to college to learn the skill of a lawyer. That was due to Paul's excellent memory and inquisitive mind. They believed that Paul could help a lot of people. Paul had every intent on fulfilling the dreams of his parents and grandparents but the tables turned and trouble at school started to aggrandize so he dropped out of high school. Paul's cousin Farley introduced him to the dope game when he was about fourteen years old. Mr. Claude W. Austin Jr. the author's father purchased all instruments for a band since he had five sons. He thought maybe they would pick them up and take it to success. The younger brothers, Claude Jr., and Dallas learned to play some of the instruments. Even though Paul could sing very well, he found selling drugs more interesting.
