I have known Charles since we were 5 years old and went to school with him first grade thru high school. I hate losing my old school buddies but I am sure he has hooked up with George Menteer and some of our other friends in heaven by now. When his mother still lived in Carbondale and he came home to visit, we would go out for a few brews and much conversation and catching up. My sincerest sympathy to you Peggy. He was a good friend and I am sure loved you very much. Don Brewer.
