I was notified of the passing of Charlie Roesle by Mark Savercool.  I believe you will get the obituary notice and a few other facts via the feature of the web site in the "in memory" section.  But I wanted to add a personal note. 

Charlie was my closest friend at Carroll.  We commuted every day from District Heights to Carroll.  The last 2 years there were 6 of us in a 1950 Plymouth.  We were in the same section together for 4 years. We went to different colleges, but I reconnected with him after my graduation while he was in his senior year at Maryland (well actually his second senior year) when I joined him and 2 other Maryland students to live in the Cherry Hill Apartments for 1 year before I got married.  He was in my wedding party. 

I kept in touch on and off with him, and lost touch for a bit, but found him in Severna Park in 2012.  I called him and asked if we could meet.  He said yes, but that he was packing and leaving for Colorado in 3 days.  His family had moved or passed away, so he had no reason to stay in the area, preferring to move to his wife's home town in Colorado. 

He did not make our 50th reunion as he was in Colorado.  I talked with him again maybe every year,  We talked about making our 55th reunion, but by then he was in ill health and could not travel.  He kept in touch a bit through this web site and said in hind sight he very much regretted not making the 50th reunion while he could.
