I have just learned of Chuck’s death and feel a great sense of loss. As Pupil Personnel Director in the Upper Arlington Public Schools, Chuck was my immediate supervisor throughout my 15 years as the Coordinator of Gifted Elementary Services in UA . I developed the first elementary gifted program in the State of Ohio, and Chuck was always very supportive and helpful as the program grew. Our mutual love of music gave us a special bond...Chuck with Barbershop Harmony and I with 44 years in Vaud-Villities. Travel interests also connected us when Chuck and Moina took an Alaskan Cruise and we discovered we were on the same cruise! I spent 30 years as a UA teacher and taught with many outstanding educators, but I will always treasure my experiences working with Chuck...his smile, jokes, and thoughtful help are special memories. May God’s blessings surround you all. Joanne Barrere
