    Charles, his son Chuck and I made a wonderful trip from Chandler to Reno, Nevada a few years ago.  
    We stopped in Las Vegas for the night.  We had a wonderful visit with Robert, Charles brother while in Las Vegas.  They had not seen each other in ten years.  I suspect this was the last time they saw each other.
    We continued our trip up through the desert stopping in a few towns along the way.  We took a tour of Hawthorne, Nevada.  The Rucker family had live there for years.  Charles was amazed at the changes that had taken place in Hawthorne. 
    We continued on to Reno where Charles was able to visit his daughter Francis and his sons John and Bob.  
    We had an equally enjoyable return trip to Arizona about a week later.  I am so glad I was able to participate in this wonderful trip with Chuck and his Dad, Charles.
