[1] Ted Gioia, West Coast Jazz: Modern Jazz in California, 1945-1960 (1998), page 78: "During his SF State years, Paul was briefly married; as with his enigmatic childhood, the details are rather sketchy. Gene Lees, despite his close friendship with Desmond, writes that he learned about the affair only because he had met the woman before he knew Paul: 'Paul never mentioned her to me, and I mentioned her only once, when we both had a few too many drinks. Paul got tears in his eyes, and I never spoke of her again.' The former Mrs. Breitenfeld later remarried, while Paul maintained a confirmed state of noncommitment in his later relations with women."
