If I am not mistaken, Marilyn passed away on Sept 2, not August 2.

Son, we live in a world with walls, and those walls have to be guarded by men with steel guitars. Who's gonna do it? You? You, Lt. Weinberg?

Chuck Back.

Post by Bill Bailey »

:eek: I just found out about the passing of Chuck's beautiful wife Marilyn, Margie and I are in shock. We became great friends when they lived a block from our home in Kingman, we had lots of good times and Chuck was building his Desert Rose Guitars there. She will be missed by all who had the pleasure of meeting her. Prayers for comfort for Chuck and the family.
