Charlie Takes Staff out to Lunch
June 13
Admittedly this is not my story but one that has stood the test of time among the staff at UMD Entomology. When Charlie was Chair in the 2000s he took out the entire business and administrative staff in the Department out for lunch, celebrating all their efforts supporting faculty, staff, and students. He not only rented a limo for the occasion but was said to have stood up through the limo's sunroof as it traveled down Baltimore ave. The attached photo is a bit blurry but added as proof that this indeed happened. Proof that Charlie was a kind, considerate and entertaining Chair that is still admired to this day.
