    Charlie mentioned he grew up here in the Albany/Capital district of New York (as we locals call it). The western Rotterdam/Pattersonville area to be more specific.

    He said he didn't get up here from Texas very often, but at the time of his passing, I wondered if he still had family in the area. I felt, if I could, like expressing my condolences to them. I still feel that. Maybe this does that for me.

    Thanks Ray

    I too am waiting. I believe I've kept the PM on the other board from Charlie stating he was getting this board up and running to sidestep all the bullshit that was happening at the time. Inviting me over here.
