In his childhood, Paul Quinton played in the piney woods of southeast Texas. He had a dog, raised a calf, a horse named “old Tom” and then a little maire named “Texas” that broke his arm. He loved tree houses, zip lines, bag swings and playing Robin Hood and Little John with his little brother Tim. He was awarded “Young Texan of the Month” in High School and graduated with a BA in literature from the University of Texas, Austin, followed by a doctorate in cell biology from Rice University. Thereafter, he became a faculty member of the medical schools at the University of California, Los Angeles, UC Riverside, and UC San Diego. His medical science research defining the basic defect of his genetic disease Cystic Fibrosis received numerous awards and international recognition. As an undergraduate, he hitch-hiked through southern South America, and about 25 years later found a cattle ranch in Argentina.
