He received referrals by word of mouth. Paul was an active member of a social club called the King's Men. This organization had a Cabaret each year which was usually a sold out event. Throughout the year, they had various events to include charitable activities, fundraisers and family gatherings. Paul brought his catering skills to bear while a member of this organization as well, with his displays of food, desserts and fruits. His knowledge of arranging a room to make the event inviting was known by all and this spurred referrals for catering opportunities. He was the last surviving member of the King's Men.
