If this is the Charlie Real I knew, he was USAF Weatherman and weather rocket “Rocketsonde” technician in Thule, Greenland, while I was there.
He was liked by everyone. He headed up a 4-man team at the launch site which launched weather rockets 50 miles high over the Greenland icecap. I have missed him all these years, and wondered about him. Greetings to his family and friends.
Sincerely,
Peter Fisk
