Paul Popinchalk came to Mowglis along with older brother Andrew in 1968. In 1968 the two were crew leaders with Paul heading the Blues and Andy the Red Crew. In 1969 both brothers returned with Paul coming back as the crew coach. Although Paul was only on the staff at Mowglis for 2 years his impact has had a very long tail with many Mowglis folks citing Paul as a staff member who had a big impact on their lives. Mowglis also had a big impact on Paul himself. Who rejoices on hiking in the Whites in both summer and winter with his Mowglis brothers and being introduced to rock climbing as well as the White Mountains.
