Sad news: Charlie Stevens

We were saddened to receive the following from Dorothy:

Just to let you and the other folk dancers know that Charlie died on Wednesday September 28.
I want you to know that he held you all in high esteem and dancing and folk music was an integral part of his life.
There will be a memorial / celebration of his life on November 6 at 3:00 at the DuPage UU Church,
1828 Old Naperville Rd., Naperville, Il 60540

There's a nice write-up of his life here:
