kansasDC Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 is he the same guy as Charlie "Poole"? That's how I had spelled it initially. But, I saw that both the Citations post on here and on DCI had it without an "e". Maybe they changed it without Charlie knowing . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very sorry to Charlie, that was a typo on my end, spell check on my email run amock. But yes it is Charlie Poole of 27 fame, and we are thrilled to have him on board. Besides the experience he brings to the team, he is a tremendous educator and motivator, to both the staff and students alike, truly a DCI legend!
