I did a little research (for completeness), and found:

  1) Carol is still related to Hank (she's his sister)

  2) Carol Cureton at that time was a seed student working on the SHOWJOB
     command.

  3) Barbara Lewis was the project manager for user documentation.

Unfortunately, unless further info becomes available, Paul Jones
is lost to history (as far as this topic goes...).
