Its February 18, 2022 and I just learned after arriving into town from my home in Phoenix about Chip's passing. I am so sorry to learn about this tragedy--with Charles growing up without a Dad and Mom. I lost my Mom when I was 25 but at least had my Dad. My late wife, Patty, was best pals organizing to make Belknap a great neighborhood but the private Friends School was also a place they left a mark on. With many students like Charles going on to great things.. My late son was four years older than Charles and was his babysitter and best pal as well! Chip also ran for judge in Louisville but refused to play the tired old play book and lost He ran on his record of integrity, fairness, and kindness.. When an angry parent had her son expelled from Friends School, the Mother threatened to bring a gun to school and start shooting. Chip, Linda, Patty, and I worked with police to stop the woman from getting on the private school campus and the four of us ended up in court defending our actions to keep the campus safe. There actions were vindicated when the woman's son was arrested several years later for crimes against children and sent to prison. The four of us did the right thing and might have saved lives. I see that Charles graduated from NYU and hope someone will give me his email or phone number I can be reached at 502-608-7567 or John.Gilderbloom@louisville.edu I wish to share with Charles fond memories of his Mom and Dad. Peace, joy and love, Dr. John Hans Gilderbloom
