"All About Charles Lockhart" by Karen Hendricks

Charles Lockhart was born in the 1960's in St. Louis, Mo. As a child he went by the nick name of Smack. He got that name from his family members because he used to smack when ever he ate especially when he ate his favorite food which is sausage and eggs.

Charles loves to watch television. His favorite tv show was Speed Racer, a show that came on tv every Saturday morning. It was about a boy and his pet monkey, competing in auto racing against other drivers and their characters.That was a great show to watch because that was my favorite show too.

In addition to tv shows, Charles love music. The song Edge Of A Dream, sung by Minnie Rippleton is one of his favorite artist along with Michael Jackson being his most favorite of the two. Besides singing, he loves the way Michael Jackson dances. He said, "I could watch him do the moon walk and other dances every day.

Charles likes to fish, he thinks this is a great hobby that will give him a piece of mind. This gives him a chance to sit and think about a lot of things that he is trying to accomplish. Also he is the type of person that don't like to be around a large crowd.

During his school years, Charles went to O'fallon Vocational Technical School and took up welding. He was a preppy dresser at that time he attended school. After graduating, he never went to a class reunion of his own but he went to a reunion of Soldan High School because they were going to Jamaica. He said, "I developed a bad experience in Jamaica and I will never leave this country again.

Later on in years, Charles lived a normal life. He had gotten a job working for Ford Motor Company to support his four children. He has two daughters, one is a doctor and the other one is married to a man that is in the military. He also has two sons. One of his sons is an artist, has a line of comic books and works for Sony. His second son just joined the Army this year. Now that his children are grown up and off on their own. Charles said, "I am able to retire from work and go to college and get me a degree".

Charles is a unique person and a life saver. He used his skills that he learned from a CPR class that he had taken to save his mothers life when she had gotten ill. He statted that was the best thing that ever happened to him because she is the most important and valuable person in his life.

Charles mentioned that as he gotten older he misses his childhood days of playing, his mothers love and effection,and her taking care of him. He said that things are going good in his life and he will never change a thing.
