    I went through LE school with Charlie and was stationed in Alabama with him. I went on to become an Indiana State Trooper and was working in the Intelligence Office and went to a meeting of other law enforcement agencies and Charlie Beck was in attendance (he was stationed at Grissom AFB) It was great to run into him and catch up.
