I was the station mgr. for Piedmont in Lynchburg for several years on two different occacions and remember Charlotte to be one of our most reliable employees who never missed work and was always on time and courteous to all she dealt with. My wife Joyce and I had lunch with Charlotte and Bill several times in the last couple of years and always enjoyed talking with them. Our sympathy goes out to Bill and her many friends and family.

Bill, I have wonderful memories of the trip you and Charlotte and a group of us took to Russia back in the 80's. We had so much fun.
I first met Charlotte when she and Tommy were working together at the airport.
We will miss her.
