May Charles rest in peace. My thoughts go out to his family. We were friends many years ago at Navy Audit.
If I remember correctly he became part of out Information Technology Division.

I remember along time ago he asked for a recommendation on a mechanic just before he was going out of town. I referred him to the mechanic I still use to this day.
He took the car in for repair and left for the trip and the car broke down.
