"You know," the reporter told his city editor, "compared to some of the jerks around this town, Black's a great guy. Level-headed. He knows what he wants and what he doesn't want. "Won't talk about himself at all. None of that stuff about how he first met Shirley and where they went on their dates, or any of that. But if she married him, she's really gonna get a guy. He's got brains all right, and he can take Hollywood or leave it alone." "Glad to hear you made a friend," replied the city editor. "But where the devil's my story?" Ts it love, or is it for laughs? You can A count the people who know on two fingers. There are a few facts about Charles Black that have beaten their way into the light: He comes from a socially prominent San Francisco family. His father, president of Pacific Gas and Electric, the largest public utility in northern California, is a self-made man. He started out in 1912 as an inspector for the Great Western Power Company and he worked his way up to his present powerful position. He wants his two sons to work their way up without asking for favors or accepting them. As a result, few of the people who work with Charles Black today know that his old man heads one of the most powerful public utilities in the West. Charles never mentions it. Neither does he comment about his war record. A Delta Upsilon fraternity brother of his at Stanford says, "If you ask Black what he did in World War II, he says, T was in the Navy,' and he let's it go at that. But the truth of the matter is that he was in Naval Intelligence, and he pulled off some of the most dangerous missions of the war. "The Navy dropped him into the Dutch East Indies behind the Jap lines, and he had to provide Intelligence with news of what was going on, and brother, if you don't think that was dangerous, then you don't know anything about war. "Black went into the Navy as a lieutenant and came out as a lieutenant commander. That should give you some idea about this guy. He was with the PT boats and on raiding missions, and well, he really did everything. I think he was in for almost five years. "When he came out, a lot of us expected him to get a big job with his old man. No such thing. The guy enrolls at Harvard's Business Administration School. "I'm not sure but I think he got his degree. Then, he came back to San Francisco. All the wise guys around the different clubs said Charley's father would make him a vice-president in charge of turning out the lights. But boy, they didn't know Charley. He goes down to the Golden State Milk Company, and he gets a job peddling milk from house to house. No fooling. From house to house. In one year, he works his way up to become assistant to the sales manager." A fter his experience with the milk company. Black became assistant to the president of the C. & H. Sugar Company, the Hawaiian Pineapple Company, and went off to Honolulu, where he met Shirley. Shirley was vacationing there with her daughter. Shirley's many Island friends invited her to all of their parties and social functions, and it was at one of these tha^ieririeetinE^vitl^Charte
