Death of a Classmate - Charlie Pollard

I wish I didn't have to say this, but we've lost a great one --Charlie Pollard.

Charlie was my roomie for a number of years along with Bud foster in the First Wing, and he kept us laughing. I guess the laughs came a lot less frequently in recent years as he fell fell victim to various ailments, but it was the cancer that finally didm him in -- prostate and then melanoma. His wife Dillon called me this morning with the sad news, but she was really sincere when she said he's in a better place now.

The funeral will be Monday, 7 Jan at an Episcopal Church in Asheboro, NC. He will be sorely missed.
