Twinkle in his eye & that mischievous grin were definitely a Charles Bethel trademark ! The one thing I remember the most of Charles was when he was in High School & he & another guy in the band would come racing out on the field & rocking on that multiple drum contraption they had attached to them ; I don't remember anyone before or after them that could rock those drums like them ! He was a great mechanic & when he was racing that drag boat I kept waiting to read of a great explosion from all of the modifications he was making to that boat to get it to be so fast,LOL - only a guy as crazy & fearless as Charles could have pulled that off ! He & his dad had a true bond even those it was pretty rocky @ times,but they truly loved each other & on a recent trip back to Snyder my father & I were in Spanish Inn & visited w/ Wayne & Charles & he was telling us about their recent outing to the lake where Wayne was still enjoying skiing @ 83 years young ! Rest in peace Charles ; you will be missed !
