CHARLES F. (FRED) WHITEHEAD

May 2, 2005

I am shocked and saddened to learn of Charlan's passing. Our mutual friend Tom Bamback sent an email telling me the bad news. I worked with Charlan at the Dallas Computer Center for many years and while I have never been one to stay in touch, I have many wonderful memories of the those years. You all have my most sincere sympathy.
