Very sorry to see about Chuck's passing. He was sure a great guy...Hadn't seen him for quite a while it seems... think maybe since we (you and I) were over at the house off of Muk Boulevard... Can't believe it's been that long...Thinking of you all, Norm

Sharon,
It has most certainly been a long hard fight, but Chuck is in a much better place now, as we all know. Betty and I want you to know you and your family are in our prayers.
Best of wishes to you and your family as you mourn your loss.

I was honored to be present for the wonderful service for Chuck, today. I started at Pilchuck in 1970 and worked with him until retirement. He is a truly kind and gentle man. It has been years since I have seen you, but introduced myself to you at the celebration today. I was the French teacher at M-P, when there was only one. You are a truly courageous woman and your love story is a true inspiration.

One never knows at the time the ability of a teacher when we are steeped in our own selfishness, but looking back, I appreciate Mr. Manuel's approach and delivery to his classes. Thank you. I still remember my report on the International Monetary System and Detente. Blessing to the family in this difficult time. Peace be with you.
