Abe gives Charlie as “Atta’ Girl”
This Letter to the editor appeared in the Key West Citizen and the heroine is none other our Charlie of Ron and Charlie. While we commend her for her honesty it doesn’t surprise anyone who knows her because, “hey, that’s just the kind of hairpin she is”.
and read as follows:
I didn’t even realize I had lost my wallet until I received a call on my cell. … It contained cash, credit cards, identification, receipts. From one of these receipt, she telephoned and got my cell number.
My heroine refused the offer of a reward and was just pleased to know that we were enjoying our time in Key West. After several inquiries, I have discovered that this kind lady’s full name is Charlene Bell, and she works at
