  • Notes 


    • Charles retired this year from his professorship at Loyola University Chicago Law School. Charlie has been associated with Loyola most of his adult life, graduating with a BS in Political Science in 1953 then going on to get his JD in 1956, finishing number two in his class. After three years as an assistant US attorney, Charlie entered private practice in 1961 with Morgan, Halligan and Lanoff. In 1964 Charlie returned to Loyola as an assistant professor and was named Assistant Dean in 1965. In 1966, Charlie took a position with The University of Missouri at Kansas City as an Associate Professor, making Full Professor and Associate Dean in 1968. In 1970 Loyola called Charlie back home, naming him Dean of the Law School, a position he held for five years. In 1975, Charlie returned to teaching full time. In 1979-80 Charlie took a leave from Loyola and entered private practice. In 1980, he returned to Loyola and has been a Full Professor there ever since. In that time, Charlie became a Billy Martin like figure, taking over as Acting Dean on two occasions first in 1983 and then again in 1997-98, but he never chewed tobacco nor drove a pickup truck. In addition to his tenure at Loyola, Charlie has been a practicing lawyer, specializing in appellate briefs. (He also used to tell his children stories of his adventures in the FBI, but a great deal of doubt has arisen in recent years as to the veracity of these accounts.) In retirement, Charlie continues to work as a lawyer and teaches about one course a year as Professor Emeritus at Loyola. Charlie is an Oak Park native, having graduated from Oak Park River Forest High School in 1949. Charlie, who was known as Ray or Raym back then, just attended his fiftieth high school reunion and reported that "no one had changed a bit." Okay, maybe a little bit... Charlie entered the Lane family in 1960 when he married Sheila Lane on the day after Christmas. On that same evening, in the bar of the Drake Hotel, the wedding night venue of choice in those days, he spilled a Grasshopper in Sheila's lap. Weeks later Sheila retaliated by dumping a bottle of Roka Roquefort flavored dressing on his head during courtship... Charlie is known by family members and professionally colleagues alike for his integrity, intelligence and a great sense of humor. But, be warned, Charlie is a punster. Charlie is also a big White Sox fan, so don't diss Big Frank around him. Charlie has suffered through many horrible seasons with the Sox, including 1976 when he had season tickets for a team that lost 100 games and wore short pants. Hence, the sense of humor. (July 2000)

Charlie is known by family members and professionally colleagues alike for his integrity, intelligence and a great sense of humor. But, be warned, Charlie is a punster. Charlie is also a big White Sox fan, so don't diss Big Frank around him. Charlie has suffered through many horrible seasons with the Sox, including 1976 when he had season tickets for a team that lost 100 games and wore short pants. Hence, the sense of humor. (July 2000)

      Charles retired this year from his professorship at Loyola University Chicago Law School. Charlie has been associated with Loyola most of his adult life, graduating with a BS in Political Science in 1953 then going on to get his JD in 1956, finishing number two in his class. After three years as an assistant US attorney, Charlie entered private practice in 1961 with Morgan, Halligan and Lanoff. In 1964 Charlie returned to Loyola as an assistant professor and was named Assistant Dean in 1965. In 1966, Charlie took a position with The University of Missouri at Kansas City as an Associate Professor, making Full Professor and Associate Dean in 1968. In 1970 Loyola called Charlie back home, naming him Dean of the Law School, a position he held for five years. In 1975, Charlie returned to teaching full time. In 1979-80 Charlie took a leave from Loyola and entered private practice. In 1980, he returned to Loyola and has been a Full Professor there ever since. In that time, Charlie became a Billy Martin like figure, taking over as Acting Dean on two occasions first in 1983 and then again in 1997-98, but he never chewed tobacco nor drove a pickup truck. In addition to his tenure at Loyola, Charlie has been a practicing lawyer, specializing in appellate briefs. (He also used to tell his children stories of his adventures in the FBI, but a great deal of doubt has arisen in recent years as to the veracity of these accounts.) In retirement, Charlie continues to work as a lawyer and teaches about one course a year as Professor Emeritus at Loyola. Charlie is an Oak Park native, having graduated from Oak Park River Forest High School in 1949. Charlie, who was known as Ray or Raym back then, just attended his fiftieth high school reunion and reported that "no one had changed a bit." Okay, maybe a little bit... Charlie entered the Lane family in 1960 when he married Sheila Lane on the day after Christmas. On that same evening, in the bar of the Drake Hotel, the wedding night venue of choice in those days, he spilled a Grasshopper in Sheila's lap. Weeks later Sheila retaliated by dumping a bottle of Roka Roquefort flavored dressing on his head during courtship...
