Charlie was s at Emporia State in theater and then 'disappeared'. He did get me interested in theater behind the stage. I still go to many presentations and watch the sets and lights as much as the actors. We heard he went to Arizona but that was about it.

There were a bunch of us in that Westbrook subdivision. Dean was really quiet, always nice, and a good halfback. We were all overshadowed by Roy McDonald and Mike Mahaney.
