I believe this story merits five stars though there are a few minor points I suggest the author consider:
1. I don't (know) why, but it always brought a smile. Add know.
2. to my recollection, (did he ever mention) horses.
3. a show horse judge. Delete of some sort.

Like the insight articulated in the last two paragraph.

This is a terrific entry for the contest, with a very important message we should all remember. It is hard to really "know" someone unless you live in intimate circumstances. And even then we may not know the full person. I made just a couple of bery picky notes about the writing.

gotten a degree from Northwestern State -- better as earned a degree

when notified by other classmates, of his death, -- no need for comma after classmates

This work has reached the exceptional level

I've often wondered what all of my old friends are doing or if they're still alive. How would they look at me today? What a wonderfully written story.

Good luck in the contest!
Have a great day, and God bless.

Hmm, this is very nice. I am sure the members of FanStory will appreciate having a old friend that has changed over the years and the feeling of seeing how they became more than they seem when they were young.

You provided a good deal of backstory on Charlies.
