    The Woodleaf High School Class of 1955 has lost another member of our class, and our hearts go out to Lib, Cheryl and Chris. The grandchildren and the great grand children will miss him also. At a reunion some years ago, the class voted to send a memorial to the West Rowan Bible Teaching Association, whenever we lost one of our classmates. A memorial will be sent in memory of Charlie.
    His smile and laughter will be missed from all who knew him.
