one of those folks Charley got started in pattern, his help in trimming my very
first pattern plane really was a plus for my intro into pattern flying...so much
experience is now gone! Also agree with Mike, what he was suffering from
would have kept most people home let alone sit under a tent and heat..But
he dearly loved pattern.. I will miss his advice and friendship.. Charlie

<DIV> Folks Charlie was a special man and we will miss him. I will always
remember his love of the sport and his determination. Just a month ago in a
condition that would have had most people bed riddin he flew FAI in Omaha.
This just a day after his 80th birthday. He was a hero of mine. </DIV>
<DIV> We just found out this morning while at the Waukesha Wisconsin
contest and those who knew CW were touched. I hope they dedicate a contest in
his honor just like the contest we flew in today is dedicated to another great
guy Bud Weber. I hope you win your 1st contest in heaven
Charlie.
