@Brudder Andrusha: Hey! Sorry for the delayed response; it had nothing to do with you. Thanks so much for letting me know about Charlie's retirement. I had not heard about it until you pinged me. I'm sorry to hear that they retired him so young. He had a great career at least. He was one of my absolute favorites. I really do appreciate your letting me know. Thanks again and happy trails! dawnleelynn^(talk) 23:09, 28 January 2023 (UTC)Reply
