Say good-bye, my man....I'll miss you terribly when i ride my bike to Hains Point.
When i arrived in DC 13 years ago i saw a postcard of you and knew i just had to see you. It took a few years to actually find ya 'Charlie', as you're lovingly called around DC, but once i did, i went to see you often. I have taken pictures of you in the fall, the winter, the spring, and during the hottest days of summer. I always found you irresistable, no matter how many kids were climbing on your head, your hand, your foot or your arm.
Your new home will have you basking in the limelight of new surroundings, but the folks who've visited you at Hains Point over the last 28 years will sorely miss you. May your new surroundings bring you happiness and folks who will appreciate you as much as i have. Farewell, my man.
