Doug Arndt reports that Charlie will undergo surgery on September 1 at Mayo. After a spontaneous suggestion and unanimous agreement that Charlie's attendance record be allowed to remain intact after decades of perfection, the board convened long enough to pass a special proposal to excuse Charlie from attendance during his health crisis without blemish to his record. 
 
Charlie welcomes offers of support, and can be reached at marvincnjr@aim.com or home phone 952-475-2450. His mailing address is 17300 5th Avenue North, Plymouth. We're behind you all the way, Charlie.
