He didn't know my friend or me; he helped because I asked. That was Chuck--stranger or friend, if you needed help, he offered all he had. When the President needed a new counsel, he knew Chuck's reputation as a brilliant lawyer who was committed to serving his community. That he quietly helped someone he didn't know, however, told the President everything he needed to know about Chuck's soul...
