Chuck and I were in H-1 - so I got to know him pretty well. He was a quiet and gentle sort of guy and yet he took up fencing. You would never suspect him of being a jock but he was in great shape. He was also the type of guy who would do anything for a friend - of which he had many. Be at peace - old buddy. Russ Parsons April 18 - 2004 Chuck and I were roommates during plebe year. He was a good friend - and like Russ Parsons said above - it was hard to believe he was such a Jock - when he took up fencing. He was "a better man than I" with all his efforts - and did very well with it. However - the thing I will never forget - he was always quitting smoking. He would quit in the morning - telling me he had had enough - he had thrown all his cigarettes away - and he was through with smoking. Then - about 9:30 PM,. you would see him rummaging through the drawers in his desk - obviously looking for something he had lost. I would ask him - "Chuck - what are you looking for?" to which he would reply - "I recall seeing a cigarette in this drawer - and I thought I'd find it - I really need a cigarette." Such were his efforts to quit - I don't recall if he every really succeeded. He was a great friend - and a great roommate. Be thou at Peace - Chuck - and thanks for all the happy memories.
