I agree with Laura. My office was right by the kitchen and every morning I would hear Derry running water for ice cubes (I’m pretty sure he was the only person who refilled the ice cube trays.) Of course, I would run in and lecture him about conserving water and we would have a friendly debate about the water situation in the world. I don’t think there were many people there who were as different from Derry as I am, but we always had great chats. I feel sad that someone would say people were afraid to talk to him, because I know as the lowest person on the totem pole there, he was always friendly and respectful to me.

It’s a small world and I too used to work for Learfield, though that was after Chuck had come and gone. I just want to comment about the AgLine News comment that other people at Learfield were afraid to talk to Derry. That is simply untrue as I saw it. Derry and I shared cheerful greetings every time we crossed paths and he was always full of questions of how things were working out for me. I also visited Derry’s office on several occasions for quick little chats. And, as far as I could tell, many of my colleagues shared the same friendly interaction with Derry that I did.
