Here is a link to a utube video I made for him and showed him about a year ago and he said, "will you play this for me at my funeral"?, I told him yes. I hope I'm given that opportunity to do what I promised to do for him.

The morning after i got back, i had run down to State Beach to meet up with Chuck, when i got ticketed by a cop for jaywalking across PCH (around 10am). Made that period all the more memorable. spyderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14251017646611361354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1256738853831938481.post-57527516842048108462013-04-09T23:50:15.198-07:002013-04-09T23:50:15.198-07:00Wow... so many great memories of working with Thac...Wow... so many great memories of working with Thacker at the Canyon and before that, just hanging out with Flanagan and Thacker. We had some very memorable times, most not for sharing, but they were great and wonderful, especially around Tower 18.<br /><br />On May 28, 1076, Chuck King posted his last post (after being visited by all of the County Royalty):EYES GLAZED, MUMBLING INCOHERENTLY TO HIMSELF, THE ELDERLY LIFEGUARD TOTTERED DOWN THE RAMP FOR THE LAST TIME! GOOD LUCK & GOOD LIFEGUARDING TO ALL WHO WORK HERE (HE WROTE IN CAPS MOST OF THE TIME). <br /><br />Then Thomas wrote: A MURKY, HIGH DENSITY, GLOOMY MORN/ FOG & LOW VISIBILITY PREDOMINATE--GOOD SURFING CROWD OTHER WISE. <br /><br />And finally Thacker came on and responded: THACKER ON DUTY--NO ACTIVITY! He always started his day with that. At the time it seemed so minimalist, but it worked for him. <br /><br />I'll think of more stories to tell as time moves along, but i can't mention the Hot Wheels, eye candy, nor the Green Wall gang.spyderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14251017646611361354noreply@blogger.com
