"Three Cheese" Corlett.  That would be 3 cheeseburgers which is what his lunch was at McD's.  I believe they were only $.15 each.  I remember the two of us finishing off a 5th of gin in his basement one night - haven't been able to drink it since.  Good Guy. . . . . .

I didn't meet Chip until we were planning the 40th reunion. I had enjoyed meeting and talking to him. He was a very nice. I was so sorry to hear of his passing a few years later.

Ran into him years after SHHS.  Chip was selling his house (unfortunately it wasn't quite right for us).  I remembered Chip as a jock, a swimmer/ diver in school -- please correct me if I'm wrong about that -- and as a pretty hip kid in the 'in' crowd unlike me... When I went to tour his house and gave him my name, he said "I rembember you from Shaker." You could have felled me with a feather.  Wonderful guy.

The last time I saw Chip was at our twentieth reunion. He was still the sweetheart of a guy that he was in high school. I'm so sorry that he has passed. May he rest in peace.

RIP Chip!

You were always fun-loving, gregarious and a friend to all, and made everyone feel good being around you.

Our 50th Reunion won't be the same without you.

What a great pic, Robby.  Four of my best friends in high school.  I saw a GS400 go through Mecum Auctions a while back that reminded me if yours.  Sweet car.  Never owned one of those muscle cars but got to ride in them with my pals occasionally.  Chip had a 396 Chevelle, Zinni had a 442, and there were some GTOs around if I remember right.  Hanging out at the Big Boy :-).

Hi Chris,

Nice to see and hear from you. Interesting that until I saw the more recent picture of you, you were frozen in time, I suppose like we all are.
