In his professional career, Paul, Professor Emeritus of the University of Miami School of Medicine, has been a pioneer in minimally invasive surgery and has numerous honors for his contributions to the field. He is Chairman and Executive Director of the Society of Laparoendoscopic Surgeons(SLS), an organization he founded in 1989. SLS has 6,000 members worldwide and teaches physicians about new developments and safety in surgery.

In 2003 Paul joined the West Palm Beach Judging Center where he is an AOS Probationary Judge.

Paul's program is a presentation for those interested in how we perceive color in orchid flowers, using the example of breeding and judging color in Phalaenopsis. Extremely interesting and fun, not just for Phal growers, but for all of us interested in orchid color.

We hope to see all of our members there on Tuesday!
