Charpy has known Chris since starting to work for the SSA in Seattle.  Chris has been working for the SSA quite a while.  He is one of the facilitators.  He assists in managing the SSA's material assits, including buildings, office spaces, and equipment.  

I have always been able to communicate well with people in this field, as experienced at Subase.  Chris and myself, along with those he works with, have been able to have discussions about almost everything.

Chris is really into climbing and hiking.  Rocks, Ice, etc.  He has invited me along on some of his outings, which I will take advantage of this summer.  

We continue to have lunch together every so often.  He started "doing the stairs" at the Columbia Tower as I have done.
