AN DRAG HOUS Enforcem pended ai million o time he is own Memorial held for Schul l SANTA ROSA, Calif. (AP)— Tennis great Billie Jean King, cartoonist Cathy Guisewite and other fans of Charles Schulz remembered the “Peanuts” creator Monday as a humble genius who never re alized until his dying days how much the world loved him. The timing of Schulz’s death from colon cancer nine days ago, just as his fi nal strip was being published, was no co incidence, said Meredith I lodges, the old est of his five children. “He was taken from this world to the next at the most sacred of moments for him because he earned it,” she told the audi ence of more than 2,000, which filled an arts center in the town where Schulz lived for more than half of his 77 years. Schulz’s widow, Jeanne, said the world’s most widely syndicated cartoon ist was a humble artist who never realized how beloved his creations were until after he decided in November that he was too i 11 to continue the strip. “He could not know the extent of the impact he had made. I believe that’s what these last months have been about,” she said. “My comfort comes from knowing that he fully received the love and appre ciation that poured out to him.” Schulz, who made more than $30 mil lion a year from the “Peanuts” strip and the many products, videos and licensing deals it generated, is better known in town for giving than receiving, both publicly and anonymously. His money founded or fostered a ' symphony, community foundation, li brary, housing development, dogs-for- the-disabled training center and many other projects in the area, as well as the Redwood Empire Ice Arena where Schulz played hockey. “He was just a good man,” said Doug Lightfoot, a retired pharmacist "l* called how Schulz let his wife’stw campfire girls skate for free. “He«i ways very supportive of the comm® Guisewite, who draws the coitus “Cathy,” said Schulz sought heroill time to time. One day, he called her he couldn’t think of anything to dm' “l said 'What are you talking! you’re Charles Schulz!”’she said® ing how reassuring it-felt to know# the greatest struggle sometimes. After the ceremony, the crowd fed chocolate chip cookies beer — standard fare for the “Pel gang.” British World War Twi fighter planes fiew over in a mis man formation, the middle plafif ing smoke from its wings. Schulz was buried in nearh) bastopol, Calif, after a privateH last week. Texas A£-M Career Center Events for the week of: Feb. ZZ - Feb. ZS ★Feb.
