My fondest memory of Craig is when I was a kid living in Fond Du Lac, WI. He, along with Aunt Bert and Uncle Bud came to visit. Craig was very excited that we had a set of encyclopedias. He was about 5 years older than me so I just a little kid to him. He was a teenager but he explained how great encyclopedias were and how you could look things up and all you could learn. It was a fun day. His enthusiasm was exciting and it was nice to hear him talk. I used those encyclopedias for a long time after that.
