I got to know him pretty well back in the 90's....

at the Reno Air Races. He visited our 'camp', (trailers) at Stead Airport, almost nighty. Ever see the movie "The Right Stuff"?

There is a scene in that movie where his wife warns him to never become one of those 'remember when guys'. I don't know how true that is... BUT...

Chuck seldom spoke of his own accomplishments. Oh sure, we asked him occasionally, (especially me), and he'd gladly give us a short tale or two... but mostly he was 'up to date'... speaking of new innovations in aviation, what was just around the bend. He was a very humble man.
