UU Church of the Shenandoah Valley Land Dedication - June 9, 2009

Charles was an inspiration to me as well as a mentor as I sought to understand the history and culture of the Northern Shenandoah Valley. It was a great day for the Valley when he returned. May all his contributions to the world be honored and his reward in Heaven be great.
