Like I said, I knew all the Gang was handling things just fine while I was away from the computer. I made a few phone calls and checked the progression of Charlies fund raiser. I think all of Charlie's closest friends around this site all took an area they were capable of handling and ran individually with it. JC took care of the camera, Vance took binoculars, Doug Campbell created the knife, Terry ran the board and paypal, hell, everyone helped in some way. I know I'm am forgetting someone but please forgive me. As the day wound to a close Terry called me once again with an idea of presenting Charlie with the news but things at the Airlines didn't work out. Instead Terry would casually turn on the digital video camera as he entered the picture and seated himself at his desk. As video rolls, Terry greets Charlie with a "good evening Charlie" and continues with a heartfelt presentation of the check donated by all you guys. It was all I could do to watch it start to finish. I already knew it would be quite an emotional moment for Charlie to watch, especially being blind-sided by the moment. I had a plan but first I'd have to get home, download the video on dial-up, and not have Charlie know what I was doing. This would be hard to do since I had explained to Charlie that my computer was broke so he wouldn't be online seeing what was transpiring in his behalf.
As the evening Mexican food plate at a nearby eatery was washed down with some ice tea, the video was downloading at home. The plan when we got home was to go for a stump shoot and fritter the evening away relaxing and sharing in the sport. Boy was Charlie's evening about to brighten up! CK
