<div dir="ltr">Dear Doris, Marsha, and Shelly:<div><br></div><div>Once in the Order, we were mandated not to thank each other, supposedly since we were all in it together and just doing our job. Well, I think we've probably outgrown that situation. Whether or not, we want to express gratitude for the life and work of Charles, now completed.</div><div><br></div><div>Charles always seemed serious, but was capable pf playing around. When we did the "Sting" operationĀ in Development, I still recall Charles walking through Centrum rubbing his nose, copying a scene from the movie!</div><div><br></div><div>Most of all, I remember a phone call from him in October 1985 while we were just getting settled in and comfortable in Denver, assigning us to Southeast Asia. Had the call been from anyone else, I suspect our resistance would have been greater. But that was an assignment that lasted 23 years
and shaped our lives
. Thank you, Charles.</div><div><br></div><div>Grace and Peace</div><div><br></div><div>John and Ann EppsĀ </div><div><br></div><div><br></div></div>
