Charlie Tuna 'as we knew him' was a good guy, free spirit and a damn good swimmer. He, Joe Bayuga, Manuel Hernandez and I went to Baja California our jr. summer to get his 1957 Ford painted and upholstered and learned a lot. God Bless Charlie.
I knew Charlie as a mate on an undefeated Swim Team for our Junior and Senior years at WHS. He was a great swimmer and a great guy. I miss him a ton as I write this. He and Charlie DeWald and Maury Cain and myself and a few more guys were all undefeated in League for two years. We had a great time making up dirty songs on the bus to and from swim meets making Mr Devine turn around and stand up and scream at us. A good time was had by all!!
My knight in shinning armor! I remember him helping me when I couldn't get my mom's t-bird started one night - I had a car full (Sharon Mays, LaVon Gerber, Gloria Freeman and Bobby Resetar) all it would hold and he saved us!!! We all were able to get home before curfew! Free to drag Main again another night.............
