** CHARLES E. GEYER, 96, Died Jan. 5, 2021. Had just completed junior year in high school when he was drafted into the Army. Served in Europe 1944-1945.
Interesting story about him, while at Patterson High School, he met a girl named June Rosalie Hoskins, who was four years younger than him. While he was overseas, she was a part of the school's letter-writing team and wrote to him regularly.
When he returned after his 1946 discharge, he went back to that school, a romance ensued and they got married the following year.
