Paul Dunn (1928-2022) enlisted in the U.S. Navy, serving as a yeoman from 1946 to 1948 on the U.S.S. Montauk and the U.S.S. Nueces. He founded and was editor of Around Town, a local newspaper. In 1954, Paul graduated from St. John’s University College, Brooklyn, N.Y., and attended its law school. He and B. J. Dunn moved to Pinehurst in 1999, where he volunteered as historian of the Newcomers Club and served for five years as historian of the Pinehurst Golf and Country Club. In 2003, Paul and B.J. designed and marketed a pocket watch which honored the 100th Anniversary of the First Flight to the Wright Brothers. His high interest in golf and Donald Ross, the famed golf course architect, led him and B.J. to co-author "Great Donald Ross Golf Courses You Can Play" in 2001, and a second edition in 2017. Both books describe all Donald Ross golf courses open to public play in America. He contributed op-ed articles to The New York Times and for 20 years columns in The Pilot newspaper, of Southern Pines. He recently authored and published "The Secret War Diaries of Abraham Lincoln - Including His Recurring Dreams," a four-volume work. More
