     Paul Allen Stuart was a registered Pharmacist, graduating from theUniversity of Arkansas. Hi s parents were divorced when he was about 18months old. It was a long and bitter custody bat tle. His mother woncustody but finally his father had to go to court to get visitationrights . Paul's grandfather, Moritz Ohls, would not let his father cometo see him and they would hi de Paul every time Allie drove the 6 miles toDalark to see him. Finally, the judge ordered b oth parents to drive the35 miles to Fordache, which was the county seat, and his courtroom ev eryThursday afternoon so Allie could have a few hours with his son byhimself in the Judges' c hambers. This went on until Paul was 6 years oldand his mother had remarried and moved to No rth Little Rock, AR. Paulworked in his grandfather Ohls general merchandise store as soon a s hewas old enough to run errands and sweep the floor. They had big barrelsof molasses up o n sawhorses in the storeroom of the store and one dayPaul opened the spigot on the barrel (af ter he had been told to leave italone). When he couldn't get the spigot to close again, he j ust ran offand hid rather than tell anyone because he was afraid of hisgrandfather. It was n ot discovered until all the molasses had run out onthe floor. His grandfather went looking f or him and when he found him,he didn't chastise him, only made him clean it all up all by him self.Paul said it took him hours to clean up. His grandmother never learnedto speak much Eng lish and she spoke it very brokenly. One day he mockedher (this was just before Christmas Da y) and so when Christmas Dayarrived, everyone received presents but Paul only received a sac k ofashes and switches.

When Paul grew up and wanted to go to colle ge, Grampa Ohls gavehim all his torn up dollars and Paul had enough to start college. Hisfat her helped him as much as possible and Mr. Poch, at Argenta Drugs,influenced him to take up p harmacy. He worked for Mr. Poch for manyyears and they had a very special relationship Aft er Paul and Irenewere married, Paul was approached by Upjohn Company to come to work forthem .
