My Take
What strikes me most about Paul Alexander is not the record itself but the defiance behind it. He caught polio at six and lived inside an iron lung for nearly seventy-two years, yet he refused to let that machine define the size of his life. He earned a law degree from UT Austin, practiced as an attorney, and wrote a book using a stick held in his mouth. I find that almost unbearably moving. We tend to measure resilience in dramatic gestures, but his was the quiet, daily kind. He passed in 2024, leaving a legacy of stubborn, beautiful persistence.
