Charlie is a retired Gates Rubber Company executive, as well as a big sports fanatic. Just to keep busy, he works at the DU Bookstore during our rush periods, at the DU hockey games during the season, and at the Avalanche and Nuggets games, too. He recently asked me the year I was born (1953), and a few days later gave me a baseball card from my favorite team, the Chicago White Sox. The card is the same age as I am, but in much better shape. You art majors out there will recognize that it is a portrait, not a photograph. It is a baseball card from a time when quality, not mass production, was important. It is a very generous gift indeed. Thanks Charlie!
