I was shocked and saddened to read about the death of Charles, better known to me as Chuck. I've enjoyed listening to him on 98Q for years, and we always looked forward to his coming to school to record our students' radio spots. He was always so interested in what was going on at the school. He was very patient with the students, and his manner with them made them confident. He was also always happy to slide in an impromptu on-air congratulations when I called him to tell him our students had won sporting events or other contests. Charles will be sadly missed by his friends at J. R. Trippe Middle School.
