Charlie Dalton, who in another world taught Spanish, is a Kentucky Colonel who lives in Price, Utah. While teaching at the University of the South in Tennessee, he met his wife, Evey, a geologist. He soon learned to hook rugs from his mother-in-law, and can’t seem to shake the addiction. He finds inspiration in color and repetition, is fascinated by Alma Thomas, and his favorite thing to hook is the reflection in a dog’s eye.
