“A popular team mate I would be remiss if I did not mention the medley relay group of Chuck, Rich Travers, Lee Garrison and Mike Schulte. That group helped the team win the South Sectionals in Chuck’s senior year 199 to 144 – a decisive victory to say the least.”
Chuck went on to Brown University and he has already been inducted into their Hall of Fame.
