This is all of the information that I know about Charlie, as he was called in high school. He never submitted an autobiography, so I wasn't able to include any information about him. The reason that I have a later picture of him, made in 2005, was that the late Sarah Gordon (Martha's sister) invited a number of us Pampans who lived somewhat in the area to her home for a get-together. I snapped several pictures at that time and remembered that I had one of Charlie.
Also, I looked up on a map Providence Village, and it is located just off of Hwy 380 between Denton and McKinney, Tx. The town of Augdrey is north of this village.
