Chuck's marriage and family

The sister of his classmate, Leona Carpenter (who was also his big brother's girlfriend), Charlotte Carpenter caught Chuck Butler's attention sometime in the early 1940's.

Charlotte "Pinkie" Carpenter - early 1940's

They went together through his high school years, and during the time he served in the Navy.

They both look a little young and shy about this "going together"!

A little older and more confident
(note the classic car they are leaning against)

I wish I knew what they were saying!
September, 1944 - in California during Chuck's leave
They obviously got it worked out!
