Records are still being added...But, "Where's Charlie?" Where's the humor, where's the zest, where's the good-hearted fellow with the southern drawl..."Where's Charlie?" Friends still stroll the beach in Malibu, past that ill-fated house, and ask..."Where's Charlie?" And now, as we settle back into our daily routines, there will be moments when we stop in a hallway or as we have dinner in a particular restaurant and swear that we can still hear that distinctive laugh and unforgettable voice shout out "Hey, Buddy!"...and we'll ask once more "Where's Charlie?" GOD BLESS HIM.... We'll all miss him...
