In 1928, a young new school teacher moved into the Chattanooga area and began teaching at Sunset View, the local school. This young lady wasted no time in becoming involved with the community; she joined the First Baptist Church of Chattanooga in September of that same year. When Charlie saw her, he told his friend Raymond Carson, "I'm going to marry that new school teacher."
