One can only imagine
Dr. Anderson
Playing Flugelhorn in God's
Heavenly Triumphant
Marching Band
With that Charley smile on his
face
I can faintly hear that music
Not so far into the distance
And see those "Saints Go
Marching In"
Thanking Dr. Anderson for helping me and many other students become dentists.

To Charley's family---ee were patients at Charley's office starting at 27th and O Sts. While he was not "our" dentist, we saw him professionally many times over the years when our dentist was out of the office. He was a caring person and an excellent dentist. Our deepest sympathies to all of you.

So very sorry for your loss. Charley was our dentist for years and I knew Jody as Mary Jo Anderson because she was my teacher at Elmwood HS.
