Not sure what to say?

I had a great experience with Charles and his son John and Linda on the Statsraad Lehmkuhl on Sea Trek in 2001.

Sending heartfelt condolences from the Forest History Society. Charles's legacy of service to our organization earned him the rare Trustee Emeritus honor, and we are saddened to lose him.

It was a great delight to be on Sea Trek with Charles. It is clearly evident that his love for history and his ability to communicate that love through his writings and teaching has been inherited by his son John, who has taken up the mantle of his father to bless countless students. We have been blessed to know both father and son!
