    Charlie was a high school friend.  We once did a parody of MacBeth as a skit for a talent show at Logansport High School.  It must have been 1961 or 1962.  I later heard that he had been killed in Vietnam.  While in Washington in June of 2002, I found his name on the Wall.  I was moved to tears that here was a friend that I only remembered through goofy high school fun whose name was permanently engraved as a hero who sacrificed his life for all of us here at home.  Thanks, Charlie!
