Am sorry to hear another one of our 1949 Miller High School class members has passed on to eternal life. I knew Charlie as a fun loving guy, who really enjoyed his Navy career. We have 1949 class reunions, however, he has not been to the last two reunions because of health.
I want to extend my deepest sympathy to the Lowther family. You will miss him.
