Their friendship was as pure as the air over our mountains and their understanding of their fellowmen was  like a gift of the sun and earth, warm and true.  Friends like these are our most precious gifts and make the heart glad.

His heart talked to you. It was good.  His finger marks will always remain fresh on your memory. Please accept this book from me as a sign of friendship. That was your great gift from Charlie.  I appreciate your help in making a permanent record of  some of his thoughts.                                      *********                                           -1-
