My wife Trudie and I met Charles and Laura in the early 1970's. We were neighbors and we used to have some of the best weekend parties with them and a few other neighbors. There was always something cooking, lots of beer and playing guitars. We had a wonderful time. It now seems so long ago. Our thoughts and prayers are with Laura and the rest of the family.
