including CEDIA and the Consumer Electronics Association.

Another Kittelson project was working with fellow Triumph classic
car owners on the Triumph Trans-America Charity Drive 2009 to raise money for
those who suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder.

Ann Kittelson has asked that donations be made in Chuck’s name to
