In Loving Memory

Our sincerest condolences to Gary and the entire Hunter family for the loss of such a wonderful woman and my second MOM. She was a wonderful cook, and her potato salad and lasagna were among my favorites. I felt so bad when I lost Charlene's potato salad down the river at Big Cottonwood canyon after being entrusted to keep the salad cold. Her response, "Don't worry about it". We had so much fun with her during our caravan trip to South Dakota, 11 years ago. She made me feel like she loved me unconditionally, as one of her own. I will always feel ashamed that I used her fruit bowl to put on my head so that I could pretend to be a chinese man and being caught by Charlene coming home after a long day's work. I guess I gave her a good laugh. What a loving and forgiving woman! The world will be a bit grayer without her, but the heavens will shine brighter. She will be dearly missed.

It has always been a pleasure to associate with Charlene and Orin over the years since our daughter, Cindy, fell in love with their son, Gary. We also went to South Dakota and were blessed to have Charlene ride with us to join with Gary, Cindy and friends and family. We were always treated kindly by both Charlene and Orin at various family get-togethers! We wish all of tlhe family the very best in dealing with the tremenous loss of Charlene. It is comforting to know that we will be able to see each other in the next life! Neil and Maureen Wold

that we're good at creating snrtog relationships only with a finite number of people (which maybe something like 10 or so for most of us) and that we ought to focus on spending more time with these top 20% of our friends and relatives for a happier and more fulfilling life. I tend to agree with this view. To be honest with you, I must admit that I am not a natural networker and I tend to keep in touch only with really close people or people who've had a significant impact on me. I find it somewhat draining and tiring to spread my arms and get to know more and more people and then keep in touch with them. Random connections and exchange of ideas are OK at times. For me, it is not sufficient to just know people if I really want to keep that connection going, I need to keep in constant touch with them else the relationship is not a relationship at all. And this is not possible if my network is too large. But I very well understand the importance of networking and knowing more people .for purposes of learning, getting things done etc. Do you think technology can really come to the rescue to help people like me? I do believe that once you become popular and famous, you don't really have to network. People then follow you wherever you go .your network follows you and keeps in touch with you without you having to put in a lot of effort. Basically, I am thinking aloud and don't even know if I've made myself clear .nevertheless, if you can see through my rambling and share your thoughts and suggestions on this confusing question of mine, I'd be thrilled.
