About Chuck
If the name rings a bell, but I look younger than you expected, you are probably thinking of my Dad, who was born and raised in South Amherst until he joined the Air Force in the very early '60s. In the Service, he spent most of his time working with nukes in the Atoll islands. In 1963, he met my mother, a NASA mathematician, near McClellan Air Force Base.
