I never did learn what happened with this man. His last name is so common that I have had a hard time locating him or his brothers or very attractive sister who soon married a wealthy rancher after college graduation or maybe it was after some college. I did run into the attractive sister while she was a student at the University of Nevada, Reno (UNR). She was also from my high school of Earl Wooster High. I am on these various Facebook pages occasionally but cannot find many people I know even though I did run into a few UNR Philosophy professors when I returned to Reno, NV in 1989 for the annual Law Librarian convention where I was introduced as the cataloger of all the WESTLAW files for a national project we were doing in tandem with the State University of New York at Buffalo which was cataloging the LEXIS files.
I AM hoping that neither Chuck nor his very attractive sister Marie reads TOTV or lives in the Villages. You never know.
I believe I climbed Rattlesnake Mt in my bare feet on a dare from a member of this family or their friends so I am not one to really talk about stupid things done in the hormonal rush of youth.

There was another matter with this Reno, Nevada family which is kind of funny.
The very attractive sister noticed my interest when I was about 16, her 17 and invited me on her horse. Or, perhaps, it was a horse someone allowed her to ride. We went riding around her quite rural neighborhood area (Marvin Gardens?) where many of the homesteads also had small farms with livestock. Being 16 and having my arms wrapped around a pretty girl who was moving with the horse I got rather excited which she, of course, could tell.
So, she invited me into her main house where her parents slept and the family did meals and family time and showed me some of the rifles, shotguns and other guns.
She then pointed out the rather nasty dogs near the back of their property which she said patrolled their property at night. These were kept in a fenced in area during the day.
She then showed me where she slept from the door threshold in a small building close to another building that housed her three brothers and their various stuff. Hanging snake skins and more guns. I had been in this shack quite often but never in her's.
Now, she gave me the challenge. She said if I wanted to learn more about horseback riding of another sort I should come visit her in her building that night. She made sure to tell me that her father was home that night. He travelled a lot as a truck driver.
Well, I am here sitting today June 26, 2014 with only one BB gun hole's scar in my finger from an adventure with one of this family's neighbors. No dog bite scars, gun shot wounds, etc. Another scar from barbed wire on my right thumb from yet another perilous journey related to another one of these rural neighbors in Marvin Gardens. So I obviously did not take her up on her offer as not being 007 probably would have not made it much further than the dogs.
I did seriously think about this challenge a few years later when running into her on the University of Nevada, Reno (UNR) Campus but was wondering what kind of things she would show me as obstacles if I had ventured further?
