As a minister's son, he grew up in several locations in Massachusetts and New Hampshire.
Chuck enlisted in the Army Air Corps during World War II and was honorably discharged in November, 1945.
He graduated Phi Beta Kappa with a BA in History from Boston University, where he was president of his senior class. He also earned a Master's Degree in Library Science from Simmons College, Boston, and a Master's Degree in Education from Boston University. He began his career as a librarian in various locations in Ohio and New Hampshire, before becoming the Library Director at Rutland Free Library, Rutland, Vermont from 1963 until his retirement in 1987.
Chuck was an outstanding baseball pitcher throughout high school. He was nearly signed for the Boston Red Sox organization, but was not selected because he was not quite tall enough.
