Sadly, I just learned of Charlie’s passing, and my sympathies are sent to Avis and the family. Recalling the Early family’s time in the little village of Norcross, Maine, in the 1950’s and 1960’s, brings back memories of enthusiastic and energetic children who were so important to the village’s elementary school. Avis and Charlie were good neighbors. It was a magical time of opportunity in America.
My thoughts and prayers are sent to all in the Early family in your loss.
