Paul C. Shover was born Feb. 1, 1930, at Anamosa, Iowa. He was the son of Bert and Tennie Norris Shover. Paul graduated from the Anamosa Community Schools in 1949. He then married his lifelong sweetheart, Wanda Meeks, on July 15, 1949.

Paul and his family served the people of their community by running Anamosa Sanitary Service for 22 years. Paul was also a school bus driver, was a farm gas delivery driver and he and Wanda operated Club 151 at Langworthy for several years.

Paul enjoyed anything that had to do with the Hawkeyes. He also loved horses, fishing, wagon trains and bonfires on the Matsell trail. There was nothing he loved more than his family. Paul could often be found watching Iowa football with his family all around and doing "The Wave" for every touchdown.
