Body

Chas died Dec. 27, 2000. He prepared for Princeton at Indianapolis Prep, where he was active in football, basketball, and baseball. At Princeton he was on the freshman football, baseball, and lacrosse teams.

After graduation he went to work for the Lewis Meier Manufacturing Co. of Indianapolis. He became president of that firm for 30 years. In his later years he owned and operated the Seville Apartments. He was a founding member of the Sailing Club at Geist. A former Eagle Scout, he remained active in scouting.

He is survived by his wife, Martha H. Hofmann Buschmann, a daughter, Anna B. Halstead, three grandchildren, and three great-grandchildren. To all of them the class offers its sincerest sympathy.
