One year after her passing, the memory of her shines brightly. A lovely person, a wonderful photographer. She always worked to make her subjects look as best as they good. And, she always did it with a smile.

Charmian was a fun neighbor at the LATHROP. Me being a photographer also helped me to communicate on her mental level. Then I was deeply saddened when I learned of her sight loss and, eventually, her passing. I have her oversize business card to treasure.

Chummy was warm, wonderful, cooperative, a real pro. We worked together many times when she free-lanced for Channel 7 in New York during the 70s and 80s. Such a sweet lady. I am shocked. May she rest in peace. Mort Fleischner, WABC-TV Producer (1973-2005)

Chummy was my aunt and we spent a lot of time on the phone. We met once in Toronto and connected often. She was funny, generous and supportive. I treasure the phone calls and precious family memories. Sleep well Chummy. Thank you for your welcoming .
