Imagine going back to college.

The world as you know it has changed.

The internet has launched and is on track to become one of the most impactful creations of the century.

This was Paul at 65,

His journey led him here.

But first at 58, he had to undergo a major life transition that would be the turning point of everything he knew.

In Chapter 2 of Paul’s story:

• ​He teaches us how true love always finds its way back.
• ​The early years of married life and advice for young newlyweds.
• ​Becoming a writer at 69.
• ​His favorite memory with Shirley in 70 years of marriage.
• ​His proudest achievement in 95 years of life.

Most of all he leaves behind his “Last Words” for generations to come.

This is Last Words.

This is Paul Mueth.

Out of a roughly 50 million, 70-80% of the Silent Generation have already died.

Paul is one of the 20%-30% that remain.

Host Nic Main travels to Illinois to sit with Paul in an attempt to capture 95 years of life lived.

In this conversation, Paul goes back to the very beginning.

Paul reflects on a life shaped by both hardship and resilience.

Abandoned at the age of two due to a rare health condition, he learned early to rely on his inner strength.

He recalls the fear of growing up during a world at war, a child wondering if he might die at the barrel of an enemy’s gun.

And he shares how the bravest day of his life, would be speaking to the woman he would marry for 70 years.
