You never know who you are going to see at the Welaka State Forest 5k. This famous guy said he was just "waiting on a friend".

Thank you to everyone who shared their memories of Chief Charlie on this page. I forwarded them all to his family and companion for the past 8 years, Denise McGill. Over 23,000 people read your comments and memories which goes to show just how much Chief Charlie was loved. Thanks again.

As most of you already know by now, the city of Welaka as well as the surrounding communities lost a great man and a family member today, Chief Charlie. If you needed a helping hand, a volunteer or just a friend, Chief Charlie would go out of his way to help you. He did so much for the community that he lived in, served and protect; but to him, it wasn't enough and he would do more. According to him, he was just doing his job; but to us; he was being a hero.

You will be sorely missed, Chief Charlie. Rest in peace.

To the runners, volunteers, Welaka State Forestry, and most importantly, my dear friends; I would like to sincerely thank you for making the first Welaka State Forest 5k such an awesome success! I never would have been able to pull through without your support. A special thank you to the volunteers and friends who donated their time and efforts to make me look like I knew what I was doing. Scott Marks, Becky Eastham, Denise McGill, Debbie King, Brianna King, Rich and Aaliyah Joseph, Carolyn (Mom) B., Christine Buchan, Stacy Harris, Terri Dove Reyes, Terry Haire, Steve Malphurs, Brian Eltervoog, Chief Charlie, and the generous runners who made monetary contributions which were most appreciated. And lastly, a special shout out to the people who I forgot to name here but I certainly didn't forget you. From the bottom of my heart, thank you and keep running. Wendy Buchan
