Charley appeared at the Ohio State Fair in the early 70's, and I was a state trooper assigned as a member of the security detail where the entertainers performed. Charlie's first show was in the early afternoon and a second show was scheduled 5-6 hours later. Instead of going back to his hotel room, he stayed around for that entire break signing autographs and visiting with the security forces. Just a super human being! RIP Charley, and don't forget to "Kiss an Angel Good Morning".
