Sad news, at the initial meeting held to break away from ICAA and found WFTC, both he and Bill O'Brien were seen as adversarial by the Europeans which led to EFTC being proposed. This was not the case but rather a difference in culture and style between the American TC and European imitators at that time. While I felt close to Bill, I never got to know Charlie well, but he was a significant figure in the movement.
