Charlie Butt - Family Life

Family Life

Charlie married Ms. Mildred "Millie" Martin, originally from North Carolina and then a gym teacher at W-L. They eventually settled in McLean, VA where they raised their family. Together Charlie and Millie had six children: Susan, Sarah, Janie, Nancy and Charles,(Charley) III. Both Nancy and Charley followed in their dad's foot steps and both rowed and coached. The family were fond of travel and often spent vacations in the Outer Banks of North Carolina. Many of their family trips, along with countless rowing practices and regattas, were captured on film and in video by Charlie. Photography was a hobby and a tool that he enjoyed. Unfortunately many of said cameras can be found on the bottom of the Potomac River as well.

Famous quotes containing the words family and/or life:

    Parenting is not logical. If it were, we would never have to read a book, never need a family therapist, and never feel the urge to call a close friend late at night for support after a particularly trying bedtime scene. . . . We have moments of logic, but life is run by a much larger force. Life is filled with disagreement, opposition, illusion, irrational thinking, miracle, meaning, surprise, and wonder.
    Jeanne Elium (20th century)

    Death or life or life or death
    Death is life and life is death
    I gotta use words when I talk to you
    But if you understand or if you dont
    That’s nothing to me and nothing to you
    We all gotta do what we gotta do
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
