He was regarded as the finest fielding first baseman in the Maryland Collegiate League.
He was an instrumental force in the success of his teams, providing inspirational leadership and outstanding performances. Mike Kardash, a teammate, called him “truly one of the most gifted varsity three letter men I was privileged to be associated with at Washington College.”
Charles Fetter gave his life for his country as a B-29 Air Force pilot in World War II.
