When he is not howling with the Union Boys, Charles acted as optometrist-in-chief at the shop and helped us overcome the most technical challenges. Hard to believe we met barely three year ago. Back then, he was working with our competition and sneaked in our workshop one night to get himself a pair of custom-made sunglasses, on the sly. We talked for an hour, he asked why we didn’t open a shop. I answered that I never met the optician to team up with. He never left.
Until the day he finally did for the sweet sun of France. If you stumble upon him, ask him to tell you about the Belgian cup quarter finals (2018).
