Born in East Tennessee in 1918, Abbott completed his junior year at the University of Tennessee in Knoxville. Then with the Selective Service breathing down his neck, he joined the U.S. Marine Corps in which he served four and a half years, lastly as an infantry officer (Lt.) in the Pacific Theater during World War II. At war?s end he was returned to Washington D.C. where he had served in the U.S. Marine Corps Institute as an instructor prior to the Pearl Harbor attack. On being mustered out of the Marines he joined the U.S. State Department on the staff of the International Far East Commission which was created with the task of setting the policy by which the occupation of Japan would be conducted.

He was a voracious reader, a skilled wood craftsmen, and successful gardener. He was also opinionated because he cared about the human condition and wanted the world done right. But he would soften his judgments with humor by commenting, "I have no credentials, just opinions, but that is the way it is; and I'll not be swayed by the facts".

In the late 1940's, he went to Mexico as an inspector with the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Mexican American Commission for the Eradication of Foot and Mouth Disease.

EATON --
Paul W. Eaton Jr., longtime New Mexico attorney and former Chaves County Commissioner, 78, died on February 2, 2004 at his home in Amarillo. Mr. Eaton was a lawyer for more than 50 years, including almost 30 years in Roswell. A memorial service will take place on Saturday, February 7, 2004 at 11:00 a.m. at St. Peter's Episcopal Church, 4714 NW 4th in Amarillo, with Father John Watson officiating. Mr. Eaton was born on March 16, 1925, to Paul and Hazel Storz Eaton in Detroit. He enlisted in the U.S. Navy when he turned 18 during World War II and served as a Lt. JG on a Destroyer Escort. Upon his discharge from the Navy in 1946, he obtained a Bachelors of Business Administration degree from the University of Michigan in 1947 and a law degree from the University of Michigan Law School in 1950. He married Hope Ingold in 1951 in Detroit. The Eatons took their honeymoon trip through New Orleans to Roswell, where Mr. Eaton earlier had visited and where they decided to start a career and a family. He later said that the honeymoon almost ended as they reached the plains of West Texas when Mrs. Eaton, who had never been west of Chicago, saw the brown, treeless landscape. After settling in an apartment in Roswell, Mr. Eaton went to work for attorney A.B. Carpenter for no pay for six months until he proved to his boss that he could practice law competently. The Eatons had sons in 1952 and 1954 and a daughter in 1957. Mr. Eaton opened his own law practice in Roswell before being asked to join the Hervey, Dow and Hinkle firm in 1956. Mr. Eaton's name was added to the firm's name in 1970. In 1979, the Eatons moved to Amarillo to open a branch of the Hinkle law firm in order to better serve as general counsel to its principal client Southwestern Public Service Company, which was headquartered in Amarillo. The Amarillo office grew to more than 15 attorneys. In addition to his specialty in public utility law, Mr. Eaton represented clients that included family farmers and multi-national corporations on complex water law issues and oil and gas matters. He was known for his meticulous attention to detail and commitment to excellence. He was praised by judges, other attorneys and clients for his civility, honesty and dignity. When asked one time by the general counsel of Pennzoil Oil Company to provide an answer in writing to a complicated legal question, but to keep his answer brief, he wrote a letter back that answered the question with one word: "No." He counseled scores of young lawyers to write clearly, work hard, behave ethically and provide the best possible representation to their clients. By 1995, when Mr. Eaton retired as the firm's most senior partner, the firm had become one of New Mexico's largest and oldest law firms and was known as Hinkle, Cox, Eaton, Coffield & Hensley. It had expanded from one office in Roswell to six offices in two states, with branches in Amarillo, Midland, Austin, Santa Fe and Albuquerque. Even after his retirement, he kept an office at the firm in downtown Amarillo and continued to go the office almost daily, which he used to say was at the insistence of his beloved wife. At the time of his death, Mr. Eaton was counsel to the Amarillo firm of Courtney, Countiss, Brian & Bailey, LLP. In the early1960s, Mr. Eaton served as chairman of the Chaves County Republican Party. He was elected to the Chaves County Commission in 1966 in his one and only campaign for public office. He was a member of the Michigan, New Mexico and Texas Bar Associations and several other professional organizations. He also was a member of St. Andrew's Episcopal Church in Amarillo, St. Andrew's Episcopal Church in Roswell and the Amarillo Country Club. He had served as president of the Roswell Country Club and the Amarillo Club. Mr. Eaton could be persuaded to play his drums at parties with friends, and he especially enjoyed teasing and joking with his friends and family. He became a licensed pilot, captained his sailboat on Lake Meredith, played golf and tennis to win and was an avid reader and puzzle solver. When he was in his late forties, he organized a very competitive annual father-son tackle football game that took place each Christmas at the NMMI football field in Roswell, for which he occasionally recruited young ringers to play with him on the fathers' team. Survivors include his wife, Hope, of Amarillo; his mother, Hazel Eaton, 103, of Tucson, Ariz.; his sister, Betty Thum of Ashville, N.C.; three children-Scott Eaton, a lawyer in Albuquerque; Bob Eaton, a banker in Albuquerque; and Elizabeth Eaton Doyle, a teacher in Rice Lake, Wis.; and six grandchildren-Albert Eaton, a midshipman at the U.S. Naval Academy; Park Eaton, a student at the University of Southern California; Christopher Eaton, Michael Eaton, William Eaton and Emma Eaton, all of Albuquerque. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to Baptist St. Anthony's Hospice-Olivia's Angels, 600 N. Tyler, Amarillo, Texas 79106, or St. Peter's Episcopal Church Altar Guild, 4714 NW 4th, Amarillo 79106.

EDGAR --
Judith Edgar died early Monday afternoon. She was at home, surrounded by her family, and at peace. As an incredible woman, wife, mother, sister, daughter, mentor and friend, her gentle, honest and human energy brought out the very best in others. Her work in the community through her church, with children in the CASA program, through Alcoholics Anonymous, in her career helping others, and with people in transition or striving to better themselves was a source of great joy and strength to her. Judith was an exceedingly positive person who actively cultivated and nurtured the garden of love that was her life. She was not afraid to be vulnerable, to share herself with others, and she loved absolutely without condition or distinction. She loved to laugh, to learn, and always pushed the envelope with vitality and energy. She never settled for the path of least resistance. Her depth of character, humor, and clarity of spirit allowed her to courageously persevere through many struggles to a personal and spiritual state of grace. She continued in that state of grace until a state of glory was achieved. A Memorial Service to celebrate her life and love will be held this Saturday afternoon at 3:30 p.m. at Shepherd of the Valley Presbyterian Church, 1801 Montano Road NW. In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made to the following organizations: Presbyterian Peacekeeping Mission, Albuquerque CASA Program, Heifer International, and The American Cancer Society.
