Dear Nancy, We are both down with different infectious diseases contracted from our grandchildren over Thanksgiving, or we would be able to tell you in person, today, how much we are thinking of you. We both liked and admired Charlie and, unitl we read aout his life in the newspaper, we didn't know the half of his contributions to our community and our country. He was quiet but warm. His schedule must have been very full, but he never seemed too busy to visit a little. He seemed to enjoy life, whether he was at work, driving a tractor, or at square dance, swinging a partner. He was a rare example to all of us of stability, committment, faithfulness and contentment with life.
