Paul Boots
Janitor

Paul Boots was born on August 15, 1938, in Ohagamiut. He grew up there but moved down to Marshall after he started to hunt. In 1950 he moved back up to Ohagamiut for 25 years and lived up there by himself.

Paul has never gone to school in his lifetime. He has worked here in the school for eight years, but he doesn't know how much longer he will work here. He likes his job because there is no other job around. He has never gotten any training either before of after he got his job.

His job keeps him stimulated because it keeps him working every day. The best thing about his job is cleaning up the school so that it looks nice.
