Charlie Cambra Has Died

[Richard Kaufman]

This just in, from John Henry Flood:

"I have sad news. Charlie Cambra known by many of us in NEMCA passed away on July 7th at age 90. There will be a memorial service at the Four Points Sheri tan Hotel in his home town of Meriden, Connecticut on Saturday August 16th. The time has not been set as yet, however, I will be in touch with the family and be happy to update anyone who would like to attend the service."

Charlie Cambra was a student and friend of Slydini's, and even had an exact duplicate of Slydini's costume, which I believe was made for him by Slydini, in order to perform his act. Also a very very nice fellow.
