Paul Naintre was the proud owner of his boat, the Mirage, a 43 year old wooden trawler, on which he lived aboard year round for six years, on the Genesee River in Rochester, upstate New York with his love, Rosie, a German Shepherd dog, and spiritual feisty daughter of his previous dog Elvis, soul mate and love of his life. Paul was also the proud owner of his Bella Macchina for 10 years and drove her with passion on the Willows Springs International Raceway at maximum rpm in each gear, to make her engine sing and go as fast as he dared.
