Chuck grew up in York County, was a drummer in the Fife and Drum Corps in Williamsburg, and graduated from high school there before attending St. Andrews University in Scotland and Emory Law School. Her grandmother, Christie D. Vernon (CDV), was my close friend for 20 years before her death in 2002. We spent much time together in Tidewater VA, and we developed a network of librarian colleagues who also became close friends. Several of them made the journey to Tidewater to meet CVV this weekend.
