Donovan Jr. was a banker by trade for over 30 years before corporate consolidation forced a career change. He is an avid bowler having previously built, owned and operated a bowling center in his hometown and is currently managing a 16-lane center in Eastern Pennsylvania. He is a member of the local bowling Hall of Fame and occasionally competes in regional PBA events.
Paul is very active in the local Chamber of Commerce and has been married over 34 years to Cathy, with two children, Jennifer and Beth. He also enjoys writing poetry and has previously published a book titled “Poetry In Motion, My Thoughts & Reflections”. The 70 plus poems include a variety of styles and formats that encourage you, tell you a story or reflect on everyday happenings. It’s easy reading that will keep your interest but will not overwhelm you.
Paul has always enjoyed the outdoors for sports and recreation and especially enjoys fishing and camping on the Delaware River. Over the years, many one, two even three day camping trips with fishing buddy Ray lead to discussions about a week long fishing and camping adventure. The trip became a reality in May 2006. The idea of a book about the trip actually originated during the second night of the trip. Bad weather forced them into the tent much earlier than usual and Paul decided to make a few notes, maybe for a future poem. A few notes lead to three hours of writing and the book idea was born.view less
