CHARLES ALEXANDER

Charlie was very helpful during our DC quarter in 1981. He knew just about everyone, who to call in the Tennessee delegation, e.g....was the yin to Neil McNeil's yang. Remembered as smiling gentleman.

This is very sad news, but it brought back great memories. Charlie had an enormous influence on so many young Medillians, myself included. He had a lot to do with why I came to DC for one quarter and never left. He was wise and patient, yet no-nonsense in a gentle way. Glad to see he lived such a long life -- if I can make 1/100th the difference in the world Charlie did, I will pass on smiling...

Condolences to the entire Alexander family. I worked with Charlie for more than a decade at Northwestern's Washington program and we became friends. A professional of the highest order, and a nice man, too. RIP Charlie.

I worked for Charles when he became editor of The Journal Herald in Dayton. He was the consummate newspaper editor -- always fair, always demanding, always supportive of the reporters and editors who worked for him. Godspeed to Charles on his eternal journey

My deepest sympathy to the family of Charles Alexander. May you be comforted in knowing that our Heavenly Father cares for you. He will give you strength and courage to cope with your grief. Psalm 94:17-19

I remember Mr. Alexander as a very kind man. He helped me get additional work-study funds when I was in the Medill Washington program in 1980. My condolences to his family.
