| Notes |
- Charles Robert Craig was my older brother and ,as such,he protected me in my younger years. He was not interested in school work,and his sophomore year in high school was spent playing hooky.After my Dad found out about the hooky,he told Charlie that he had two choices; go to school or join the Army. My brother chose the Army, and went off to Fort Meade in Maryland. We did not see much of each other after that,and,I don't think we ever corresponded by mail. This reclusive attitude carried over into relations with his family,and,as far as I know,none of the family members knew he had died until three years after the fact. I am still trying to get the facts of his death from Soc.Sec.;i.e.;where,when,how and why; but they answer my requests by claiming immunity under the Right To Privacy Act. This occurs after the man has been dead over three years!!! What will happen to history and biographical information if this policy is continued? I have written to Congressman John Mica about this situation and asked him to change the law and get the info released to me, but, so far, two months later, no reply. I also sent a letter to Soc.Sec. headquarters in Philadelphia,PA in late July,1999, and received no answer. The only response was received by my brother's second wife,Jean, that SS payments stopped in 1996. This month, Dec.,1999, I searched SS death records, included with my Family Tree Maker computer program, and found that Charles died on May 20,1996, but this record included no other pertinent data,except his SS#. In the 8 to 10 years before his death, my brother lived a somewhat nomadic life, going from CA to Mexico to FL to GA to CA to WY to MT to FL to CA to wherever he resided when he died [assumed to be WY]. He lived with Mom for several years before she died in 1991, and I assume that he left Azusa shortly after that for his final residence. As an update;Congressman John Mica replied to my letter on Dec.20,1999; He has requested that the appropriate official look into the matter and respond to him; then he will respond to me. The response arrived,But Nothing Changed!!! Our esteemed SS Employees are still hiding under the blanket of The Right To Privacy Act and refuse to give me any facts about Where and How he died. They infer that he was receiving his checks in Turtle Creek,PA and he hasn't lived there since he was a young boy.
