As I said before Charlie loved Stanford. Seems like everybody who attended there has wonderful memories of it. Stanford does a great job of keeping their alumni involved, I said that, too. One of the events they had a few years ago was a trip on a whale watching boat and Charlie attended. Unfortunately it was cold and a bit rough at sea. Charlie got seasick. Knowing that the best way to overcome seasickness was to stay on deck, that was where Charlie spent the cruise, out on the deck in the cold wind. He came back majorly chilled. He got in the bathtub to warm up. Amazingly enough the hot water heater was between cycles, there was virtually no hot water in it. Bummed? Oh yes. So I filled pot after pot with water and heated them on the stove and unloaded them in the tub. He finally warmed up. Charles also expected to get sea sick on the ferry from the South Island to the North Island during our trip to New Zealand in 1985. Its said to be a reliably rough crossing. So he took anti seasick medicine, I guess he overdosed on it, he slept through the crossing and was groggy for the day. It was a smooth crossing.
