Sharon and Frankie,
I was so saddened to learn of Chuck's passing. Oh, the memories of skiing with you guys on Lake Bonny and in the "pit" in Mulberry! And the many miles Chuck and I walked around Lake Hollingsworth together. And the Christmas gatherings, and our European friends. I shall hold you all in my thoughts and prayers daily. I still miss you,

Frankie and family,
I was very sad to learn of Mr. Dees passing. He was a true legend in his time. I have many fond memories of him. He was always willing to give helpful tips to me to improve my skiing. I also bought my first fiberglass EP slalom from him at Callaway Gardens back in the early 70's. He will be sorely missed in the water skiing community.
