Karen,
I was very sorry to see that your Father had passed away. The last time I remember him is when he took us skiing at Trollhaugen our junior year. I remember thinking what a nice man! Small world, Frank and I have been married for 29 years, he remembers your Dad from working at the state. I would love to hear from you, it's been a long time.

Charley and I traveled often in the early '70s with the MN. Department of Revenue. He was not only a good friend but a good teacher and a fine representative to those we visited. We did not stay in touch after I left State Service, but I have thought of Charley many times over the years, rembering mostly his good humor and his dedication to his work. My sympathies to his family and friends during these difficult times.
