Charles McBeth
Former KVRH Radio personality Charles McBeth died July 12, 2004, at his home in Sun City West, Ariz., following a bout with cancer.
Better known by his stage name of Charlie Darwin, Mr. McBeth was on the air in Salida from 1973 – when he moved to Salida – until 2000. With his smooth baritone, he welcomed listeners to his shows with, “Welcome to our world, it is yesterday once more.”
His sincere closing for every show was, “Hope you get what you want, want what you get, and remember that if understanding is to begin, let it begin first in you.”
He loved radio work. “I couldn’t ask for a better job,” he told The Mail in November 1998. “Where else could I sit around listening to music, drinking coffee, chatting with people and getting paid for it?” he said.
For Mr. McBeth, connecting people through their memories was something he appreciated and enjoyed, especially playing his favorites, “oldies but goldies.”
He said, “Everyone has memories. Songs spark those memories.”
Growing up in Texas, his first love was newspapers, starting a hand-written neighborhood edition when he was 9 years old. He was working for the Odessa, Texas, American as a writer and photographer in 1969 when he lost three fingers of one hand in an industrial accident and could no longer use a camera or tray-process photos.
Later, taking classes at Odessa College, a professor asked him to do some radio work.
“I found my new love,” he said, adding, “You have to feel the music to be a good disc jockey. This is something you have or you don’t. It cannot be taught.”
In 1973, a friend called and offered the “perfect job” in a small Colorado town, close to mountains, rivers and good fishing. Two days later, Mr. McBeth was on his way to Salida.
Bill Murphy, former owner and general manager of KVRH, said, “I have nothing but good to say about Charlie. He was as good as they come.
“And he could do just about anything that needed to be done at the radio station. You just don’t have that many employees like that.
“He was a true radio personality, and had a high profile. He wouldn’t hesitate to deprecate himself, for years going by ‘Ugly Charlie.’ People noticed that, remembered that and grabbed onto it.”
In addition to his radio work, he was a corrections officer at Buena Vista Correctional Complex, serving there 14 years before retiring and moving to Arizona. He played requests for inmates while simultaneously working prison and radio jobs.
He said in 1999, “I want to thank all the people who tune in and listen every week ... for putting up with me for 25 years.
“I love my job. As long as I can be on the air, I will be happy. What a great world we live in.”
He and Linda, his wife of 29 years, moved to Sun City West in 2000 where he was a handyman.
Mr. McBeth was born May 16, 1949, in Big Spring, Texas. He loved country dancing, serving as a swing instructor. Other loves included bowling, fishing, golfing, softball, camping, bingo, playing with his grandkids and spending time with friends and family.
He enjoyed all types of sports. As a softball umpire, there was never a doubt about balls and strikes or whether players were safe or out.
He also was known to take an occasional bull ride, events he sometimes “covered” on his radio shows.
He is survived by his wife Linda, who he married in Salida June 27, 1975. Other survivors are his parents, Gene and Stella McBeth, Seminole, Texas; daughters Denise (Donald) Sanchez and Randa Bess, Salida; a son, Robert McBeth of Salida; sisters Amber (Sandy) Stanfield, Cummings, Ga. and Kim Burrell, Alvin, Texas; grandchildren Toby, Abigail, Larissa, Raymie and Storm; and several nephews and nieces.
He was preceded in death by a daughter, Melissa.
A celebration of Mr. McBeth’s life will be held at Noon on July 31 at the Salida Elks' Club.

His hobbies included golfing, fishing, stained glass art, and watch and clock repair.
