  Charles Powell Adams PALMYRA Charles Powell Adams, LCDR-USNR, 74, died 
  peacefully at home on Monday, August 9, 2010, after a lengthy battle with 
  cancer. Born in 1936, in Nashville, Tenn., he grew up in Lakeland, Fla., and 
  graduated from the University of Florida earning a B.A. in history. Admitted to 
  the U.S. Naval Officer Candidate School, he was commissioned Ensign, USNR in 
  April 1959 and ordered to the U.S.S. O'Bannon (DDE-450), home ported in Pearl 
  Harbor, Hawaii. From there he made two Western Pacific Fleet deployments of 
  seven months each. Between these Far East cruises, he met and married Mary 
  Louise Rinde of Fremont, Neb., in 1961. Following his release from active duty 
  he remained in the naval reserve, retiring with the rank of Lieutenant 
  Commander. After proudly serving the United States Navy, Powell and Mary

  Lancaster General Hospital, Cleaver Brooks Inc., and AMP Inc. The last 13 years 
  he served as Executive-inResidence, Professor and Adjunct Professor of Business 
  at Elizabethtown College, Elizabethtown. Throughout his life Powell and Mary 
  were able to travel widely. Europe, Scandinavia, Mexico, Central America, 
  Canada, as well as 48 of the United States each provided special memories. He 
  loved to read and belonged to the Palmyra Book Club for many years. He was 
  devoted to his church, Palm Lutheran, and provided leadership there in many 
  capacities. His family was especially important to him and he spent many 
  special events taking pictures of them as is apparent when you visit his home. 
  Many family members and friends will remember him for the thoughtful thank you 
  notes and letters that he so devotedly wrote in appreciation for their 
  hospitality and/or accomplishments. He is survived by his wife of 49 years and
