JUST PLAIN CHARLIE

Charlie, why don’t you write a book? You’ve got all these stories about how interesting a life you have had, in so many different businesses and other involvements. I said, Who would read it? She said, I would.This was a scenario repeated in the recent past, and, having reached a point where I no longer could physically stand the rigors, and risks, of being out in difficult terrain, thought it would be fun, and interesting to reduce to written form the hundreds of noteworthy experiences my life has produced, by design or chance.
