Chuck's Story
My my, Left Prineville 3 March 1960,
after being hosted by Tom Rosette for
a couple of days until the bank opened and I could withdraw my savings. I traveled to San Francisco and spent a couple of days with Ron Hicks. Soliciting any possible place of employement. Being unable to find any employement to could cover food and shelter while I completed my senior year and graduate,I headed south to visit my brother and family in San Jose. Brother Don and Co. were gracious and provided room and board until I graduated from Andrew P. Hill High school.
Having met two brothers whose aunt and uncle maintaned mooring for boats and
yachts in the Catalina harbor we set out to the next adventure of replaceing the chains, anchoring floats, and tie downs from the harbor bottom.
Learning how to soak up my surrounds,
scuba diving, and the Beach Boys made
for an interesting summer.
Returned to San Jose, worked in a candy factory, laborer for a plumbing
company, beginning my...Expand for more
apprentice ship
to become a plumber, getting married,
left plumbing to be a freelance salesman, selling that busisness, buying into an exercise device that was
sold in Portland through the Jaycees,
selling my intrest in that busisness,
hooking up with a San Jose friend when he and family returned from England, then starting Charles & Charles (a import and wholesale antiques business) in 1966, etc. etc, etc. and here I am in 2009.. Father of two bright and lovely daughters, one an Emergency room Doctor at the same hospital she was born, the other owns an Interior Design firm in Los Angeles.
That is not all folks, I am still working and look forward to seeing all
of my classmates from Crook County Highschool, and then another reunion with th Andrew P. Hill alumni in 2010.
I am looking forward to this reunion as much as all of the others.

P.S. I think the reason there is no spell check is a personal problem !
