Default In Memoriam: Charlie "Lite" Minner

I first met Charlie "Lite" when I was CD as the 1997 Region 9 no
contest at Owl Canyon. The contest manager presented me with this
'character' to run the gate. Over the course of four straight rain
days, I got to know Charlie pretty well. Lots of story telling, some
beer, and those days, he still played the guitar and sang. Like Paul
Remde, over the years I shared hotel rooms with Charlie, talked on the
phone periodically, and visited when possible. You just couldn't help
but admire the tenacity of the man. He gave so much to soaring. I
miss him already. That's one thing I like about the SSA. You get to
know such fine people. My sympathies to Micki and family.
