I believe Charley was inspired by our mentor Coach Badgett that proved to be Charley's life ambition.
Ward Lawton (1954)
Well Charley you back with the team again, man it's going to be tough to make that starting team with players like Charley already there. With Coach Badgett you made the starting team each week. Will see you when the games over. Put in a good word for me. Ward

Charley and I coached together at Lakeshore 1965- 1972.Then worked together again at Willis Denney Ford 1972-1974. He was very special and always a team player. We both played for Coach Badgett and we both had his basic coaching philosophy! Am so thankful for these experiences! And Charley was a great influence for me! Rest in Peace my terrific friend! 🙏Edward (Jack) Downing (1953)
Charlie was a fine fellow. We all admired him.
