Paul's Grill Sold. Announcement was made this morning, effective February 1, of the outright sale of Paul's Double Dip Grill. The new proprietor, Lawrence Curtiss, assumed charge today, but Galen Paul will remain at restaurant until the latter part of next week while the new owner becomes more familiar with the details. After that, the Pauls have no plans. Mr. Curtiss is the son of  Dale Curtiss who purchased the Eel River Creamery last November. The family came from Alto, Michigan, at that time.
