<DIV><SPAN class=060481720-14092004><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>I sat
and talked to Charlie at this year's Toledo RC Exposition in April as I have
every year that I have had the NSRCA Booth. I shouldn't say talked, because I
did the talking and he would write to me on his little slate message pad. He
didn't talk (write) about his handicap, instead he was still
interested in how things were going in District 4, so he stopped by our D4 NSRCA
Booth and visited several times. I think it gave him a chance to rest his weary
feet as the Toledo show is big. I've always been impressed by his stamina. I've
seen him at the Toledo show most every year as well as at the Nats. What a
fellow! He'll surely be missed.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

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 Rock</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<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.

<DIV><FONT size=2>I wanted to let everyone know that District 5 lost a
long time pattern flyer and supporter of model aviation today. CW
"Charlie" Reed III passed away this morning after a rather lengthy
illness. His presence will be missed.</FONT></DIV>
