Charlie was my Economics teacher at Madison West High School in the mid-70s. He spoke so highly of Carleton College that I decided to go there. Those four years were transformative for me, and it was the best decision I've made so far in my life.
For that, I will always be grateful, and I'm glad I reached out to Charlie via email a few years before his passing and told him how grateful I was for him steering me toward Carleton.
We shared some email messages back and forth, and he was very happy for this contact with a former student -- and I'm sure my story was not unique, and that many former students reached out to him, too.

He will be missed by many.
