At Princeton, Charlie majored in English and joined Cottage Club. He roomed senior year with Bill Dohrmann, Ned Massengill, and George White.

Charlie remained in banking in San Francisco for six years. In 1967 he married Pamela Parsons and they had a daughter, Landis, in 1970. They relocated to Princeton, where he remained until 1982. First he was employed by Clark Dodge & Co. as an account executive, and then he opened a restaurant in 1973.

Charlie moved to Florida in 1982. His loves were his wife, daughters, sports — especially golf, fly-fishing, horse racing (he owned horses), and road biking — and his close friends.

To his wife, daughters Virginia and Landis, and grandchildren Campbell and Diana, the class offers its kindest wishes.
