He's still kicking and alive. I hadn't talked to him for awhile, so I sent him a text. He had a nasty tumble and broke his left hand (I think that was the hand).
Charlie is a super cool guy and I've been lucky to call him a great friend all these years. Hoping to go down and visit him some time. I'll give him a call tomorrow. The last time I talked to him he was a guide for a blind man and he shot a heck of a deer. Charlie guides more than anyone I know and I didn't think Florida had big deer until I saw the picture!
