Yikes, I didn't realize that he was worth that much. His sister is a good friend and she is also our veterinarian. He has given us tickets to UT games before, so that explains how he was able to give away so many. His sister had said that he was a big wig with Dish but she never went into detail.

My cousins went to school with them in Oak Ridge. I guess my cousins' house was very popular and he was there all the time (according to him) and they were good friends. I met his brother, Fred (a doctor) last year at a family funeral in Knoxville. I've met Charlie several times at various conventions over the years.
