Family
 Chuck
As early as he can remember, Chuck has been playing the piano.
Now as an internationally known musician, Chuck has recorded
with, and continues to record with recognized musicians from
all backgrounds. Interestingly, it was while on tour with
the Fabulous Thunderbirds when Chuck studied forestry by correspondence,
indulging his interest in tree farming and conservation. Not
only does Charlane Plantation offer Chuck a much appreciated
tranquil setting between his hectic tour travel, but he finds
it to be the perfect place to write his music and work on
his second passion-forestry!
Rose
Lane
Growing up on Charlane Plantation is not the only reason Rose
Lane maintains her roots here. Instinctively artistic herself,
Rose Lane has created fantastic gardens and has directed restoration
of the main house and the guest homes on Charlane Plantation.
With accomplished talents in painting and gardening, it’s
still her cooking that’s the envy of all! Using a combination
of family recipes passed down through generations, recipes
she’s acquired and created from her world travels, and
a little something from her own garden, Rose Lane will treat
you to a feast you won’t forget! |
 Amy
and Steve Bransford
Amy and Steve live in Atlanta, GA. While Amy spends
her days fulfilling a rewarding career as Director of Publicity
for Terminus Records, a local independent label, Steve is
working on his Ph.D. in American Studies at Emory University.
Steve fills his time doing freelance video production. He
is currently editing the final touches on Chuck's first instructional
video. Amy and Steve were married in Macon last May and chose
Charlane for the wedding reception. Steve proposed to Amy
on a warm starry night right out at the pondo (the nickname
for the great swimming pond at Charlane Plantation).

 Ashley Leavell
Ashley
lives in Boston where she is Program Coordinator in the
Division of Continuing Education in the Boston University
Dental School. In Massachusetts, as in most other states,
dentists have to obtain a certain number of Continuing Education
Units each year to keep their license to practice. They
can get these by attending ADA-certified Continuing Education
courses, seminars, and symposia, usually put on by schools
or dental companies. (The courses are also open to other
dental hygenists/staff, etc, who want to attend.) In Ashley's
position, she is responsible for organizing these courses
and symposia--arranging for speakers, locations, and other
logistics of the planning and execution. She also aids in
the writing and design of brochures and advertisements for
the bigger symposia.
