"I would like to pay my respects to 'Charlie' as he was known by so many Ithacans. 
  During World War I he worked up to become a sergeant in the army, and went overseas to France near the end of the war in a contingent of about 2,000 negro troops, of which my brother Robert E Treman was the major in charge.
  His knowledge of typing and business affairs so impressed my brother that he brought him to Ithaca as his secretary, first in Treman King and Company and later about 1940 at Cayuga Motors."
