<DIV><FONT face=Arial> I will never forget, we were all out
at the 50th anniversary of our club. It was the biggest fly-in I had ever
seen at our field. I was holding a 55% Giles when we were told to shut it
down for an announcement. There it came, news I never would had expected
Charley Reed has past away this morning.... ( This morning of all the mornings
the club's 50th it seemed so strange but so fitting) right at that moment I
knew he was there with us all of us he had helped all of us at one time or
another. It could have been just some advise or it could have been the parts
that we bought in his little basement where he always was smiling when he
always had the part you needed when you needed it! Charley had been around
since the beginning of model airplanes and had done it all.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial> I began to think how long had I
known Charley well, longer than I could remember. He knew me since I came into
this world! He was the modeler's man the go to guy if you wanted to know how
to do this or what you needed for that he knew what you needed or had a good
idea for you. His input into this hobby will be missed by all of us in the
Kansas City area and for all of you around the U.S. who knew him.
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial> If you could please post this where
people can read it and know that a great modeler has past one that will be
missed by his family and his family of
modelers. </FONT></DIV>

we will never forget you.</FONT></DIV>

face=Arial> Charles W. Reed, III, "Charley," 80,
Raytown, MO, passed away September 11, 2004. Funeral services will be

Box 270848, Tampa, FL. Charley was born in Wellsville and grew up in
Montgomery City, MO. He graduated from Missouri School of Mines and
Metallurgy in Rolla, 1948, with a degree in Mechanical Engineering. He
was a member of Kappa Sigma Fraternity. He was a WWII Navy Veteran. He
and his wife, Pat, moved to Independence after their marriage and lived
in Raytown for the past 50 years. He was a Professional Engineer in
Missouri and Kansas, and retired as a Design Engineer from Federal Mogul
in 1986. His retirement enabled him to devote his full time and energy
to his consuming interest in radio-controlled model airplanes. He
competed at the highest level of his sport for many years, and won
numerous contests and awards. He was an active member of the Kansas City
Radio Control Association, and published its newsletter for over 30
years; he was also active in the Academy of Model Aeronautics, and was
certified as a judge at national competitions. He was also active in his
church, First Baptist Church of Independence. Charley is survived by:
wife of 57 years, Patricia; son, Bill Reed; granddaughter, Olivia Reed,
Kansas City; daughter, Carol Britt, San Antonio; brother, James R. Reed,
San Antonio. (Arr.: Missouri Funeral Care, 816-3531700) <BR>Published in
