Re: Charlie Brown

I first met Charlie Brown in 1978. Over the years I had a lot of interesting
conversations with Charlie. He always stated what he believed and you always
knew where you stood with him. Travis Tonn's statements about Charlie are crude,
ill mannered and quite offensive. So Travis, when you pass on, I'm sure there
will be no character traits of a dubious nature which will be declaimed by your
fan club. I, for one, plan to honor his memory.
