Thanks Chuck,

I've always enjoyed your company when invited to Blue Ridge and think of you every time when sitting down in front of the Spolar.
Hoping you and Margaret have many good years ahead and look forward to seeing you!

Stan

Dear Chuck, I well remember when you took over from Mark and initially I had my doubts that anybody could match what he had been doing for a decade before you stepped up... but I will say your work and sincere dedication has eclipsed his.
You devoted a whole room and more of your and Margaret's home to keep the PGCA Research Department alive and quite well.
Remembering when Robin Lewis spent a week or more at your house while you digitized the Parker records - What a vast improvement and time-saving venture that turned out to be... Kudos to you both and certainly for Mr. Dunkle's contribution to that endeavor as well.
We all go back a looong way and without the dedication of folks like yourself, the BOD, our editors Mike and Sammy Koneski, MaryBowes, John Dunkle himself, and all the volunteers - I say VOLUNTEERS... we wouldn't have the admiration and envy of all other classic firearms collectors organizations around the globe that we have.
I know that from time to time I've been a PITA to you but you NEVER complained about the extras I asked for over the term of your tenure.

I admire your dedication and I will say your work is impressive my dear friend!

Please give Margaret my best and please thank her for loaning you to us these many years.

My Best to You,
Dean

Thank you for your wonderful service. Hope your health improves and you enjoy many more years. I just ordered my 5th letter last week, if it doesn't have your name on it, it will seem strange.

Dean you bring up old pleasant memories of you and Kathy, Larry and Deb and me and Margaret and throw in Dave Suponski too. We did have fun. I tried to get Robin involved with recreating the hyperlinks again with no luck.

Suponski was responsible fore getting the research position. Dave invited me to a gun show in Connecticut January of 2012. It was the first time I got to meet and talk to you and Larry. Dave asked me if I wanted to be more involved with the PGCA. I said if Mark C needed help doing the letters I would like to help and the rest is history.

Margaret and I wish you and Dorothy all the best and I hope to see you at Hausmann's next year
