This Distinguished and Community-Minded Old Timer

Widowed, and his children long since having flown the coop, Charley busied himself during the Second World War years by being on the ration and draft boards. When time put him in his 80s, Myers took time out to write a book, “Memoirs of a Hunter.” It is tailored for all outdoorsmen. This well preserved and neatly dressed fellow continued to attend dances for all occasions. There was a four generation span when he danced with my sister-in-law during a Fair Queen selection. That was the last time I remember seeing this distinguished and community-minded old timer.

One of Charley Myer’s sons, Richard, who now lives in Electric City, has shared interesting events with me of his adventures during the last days of the farm horses, and the Model A Ford era.

My general knowledge didn’t amount to much, but I discovered you couldn’t square a circle; that nouns and pronouns used after prepositions must always be in the objective case; that Socrates, like Christ, never wrote anything, except that the latter one time wrote something in sand, but nobody knows what. - Charles E. Myers "Memoirs Of A Hunter," p. 3
