Charlie, you old Tex-a-can, I will miss the hell out of not being on 
line with you to share the many great words of wit, wisdom, wryness, 
and  plain old fun. You sure ae in good ocmpany, now. Tell, Beebe, 
Barrett, Johnny DeFauw, Hodes and the other Chicago bunch that Don  will 
look for them all at his turn at the Big Shoulders Reunion. Now 
remember, Charlie, not all of them were Right Guardistas, so cut them 
some slack, amigo.
I  pray you comfort and peace -- and a good ryhthm section to back you 
up until we meet agai.
Don Ingle
