I loved reading about Charles, his early interest in science and his work at the Space Lab. His wit and humor, with a great smile is so remembered when we would chat after Friday night music concerts in Berkeley.

Chuck was one of the best persons I've ever known. He played a significant role in helping me to enjoy my life on several levels. I still recall his saying, "Bob, you work too much. Let's go skiing." Some of my fondest memories of my grad school days are ski trips with him. I also recall his helping me to build a tachometer for my 1965 SAAB, which took us on many ski trips. Very sad for me to learn that Chuck is gone. Gretchen, my condolences to you and your family.
