barb & ginny, i have so many fond memories of all our playtime on harriet avenue. remembering your mom and dad brings smiles. always thought it was very 'cool' that your dad played the upright bass. barb and i were in a dance recital at lake harriet bandshell-remember the rainstorm that followed? your dad rescued us and wasn't too upset that the color ran out of our crepe paper costumes all over the backseat! bless your hearts as you and your families celebrate chuck's life and his contributions to those he loved. with love,
