Let's make this birthday one to remember.

71 years old (Born on October 30, 1953)

Happy Birthday, Charles! From tracking tough stories at ABC and CBS's iconic “60 Minutes” to founding hard-hitting organizations like the Center for Public Integrity—you sure have a knack for kicking up investigative dust in Washington. Your legacy proves you’re not just good with angles; you're great with integrity!

And let's celebrate your tireless commitment—the Investigative Reporting Workshop at American University is thriving thanks to you, inspiring countless journalists who follow your trailblazing footsteps. For someone who's founded more non-profits than most of us can name (Global Integrity, The Fund for Independence in Journalism—seriously?), here's wishing that this year brings fewer deadlines but plenty of laughter.
