21 Jan 2022As Co-ower of MCC way back then I hired Charles as our first real test technican. The thing I remember even after
selling the company twenty years ago is that Charles always seemed to be in a good mood with a quick smile and his
contagious laugh. I am glad to hear that it at least happened while he was doing something he enjoyed. Most of us are not that lucky.
