Thanks everybody for the kind words. Back when Tattrie found Charles, I couldn't shake what he went through. If I had known he didn't have wifi or a computer I, and friends, would have helped him with both. Nobody knew.

How beautifully written this is, thank you so much. I had never heard of this man and I’m inspired to see if I can find and purchase some of his writings.

I knew when you began this Substack that it would be something special. Lovely story and Charles was so lucky to have you as a friend. Thank you for making me cry this Saturday morning.

What a sad beautiful story. Common ending for so many lonely seniors. Well done Michael.

This is such a beautiful tribute. When I went looking for your latest work on fbk to see where you were, I saw this again and reposted it. We are lucky we have your commitment to humanity in these times

Wow. I was vaguely aware of Charles Saunders and his "Imaro" books, but I never read them, and I didn't know about his journalism. Thank you. I think I have some reading to do.
