Subject: A Death in the Family II

 
Sorry to start a new thread on this, but I am going out
of town shortly and wanted to post this for Roger
Chewning before I left.
 
I received some shocking news today. A good friend, talented artist, comedian,
kiteflier, and happy father, Chuck Walker me with a fatal accident yesterday.
He was traveling to Arizona for the Balloon Festival in Albuquerque to visit an
old friend and spen
d a week's vacation with his family. Apparently, Chuck fell asleep at the
wheel. Lisa, his wife, is in stable condition and their daughter, Kelsey is
okay.
 
Chuck moved to Colorado to fulfill a lifelong dream he and Lisa shared. Chuck
loved skiing and snowboarding and his goal in moving brought him closer to this
dream. His first winter two years ago he broke his leg while snowboarding and
missed much of the
season, but last winter he tore up the slopes. Chuck had a great love for
outdoor activities including rollerblading, mountain biking, football and
kiting. He most recently told me how he would take his daughter Kelsey on
cruises around the hiking paths, C
huck on rollerblades, Kelsey in the bigwheeled carriage. He was one happy guy.
 
Most recently Chuck had been working for a graphic design firm in Colorado and
keeping very busy. Not too busy to help out some old friend with some design
work and ideas. Chuck was responsible for the first issue of Sport Kiting and
for the work in the u
pcoming 2nd issue. His design work was always fresh and innovative. Working
with Chuck was always a pleasure and his enthusiasm always came through in his
work. Chuck was also responsible for the logos of the ECSKC, MASKC, NYSKC,
Vermin and more. If you re
member he even printed a shirt  Wheres the Motor back about eight years ago
when wings made noise.
 
I am most saddened that someone so full of happiness, with a new job, new
house, one year old baby, new life could be stolen from us with so much more to
give. Our thoughts are with Lisa and Kelsey. We want to do something special
for them, just not sure
what is appropriate yet.
