In early March 2020, my uncle miraculously survived a "widow maker" heart attack. Charles is a gregarious force, incredibly confident, and larger than life in everything he does. So, in a way, it was not shocking that he was able to survive this heart attack—despite actually being dead for several minutes-and come back at the top of his game. This piece is an anthem for him and his vitality.
