Here, Charlie was a great guy to do business with and will be missed.

I know of none more upstanding, kind-hearted, humble, and generous than Charlie.

Great guy, great Aggie. I played golf with him at Lakeside in Houston in the 90s.

I remember meeting Charlie at an A&M golf tournament in Houston.
A great Aggie. RIP

I used to play in an annual golf tournament with him. Just went and looked and the last pic I have of he and I together was from 2015. Might have been the last time he played. He was a good guy.

Remember hearing his name numerous times on the radio back in the day.

HERE!

All of the Ol' Army heroes of me youth are joining the Muster Roll.

It makes me sad because we won't see their likes again.

Charlie Milstead was the tailback in Jim Myers single wing offense. I saw it all. Great exciting player. Brought the Ags out of a perfectly oval huddle in a serpentine unwinding. Was a passer, runner and was known for pinning the opponent deep in their own territory with surprising quick kicks out of his tailback position. Could do it all. May he rest in peace. Great Aggie.

Here. RIP Charlie

He was one of my childhood favorite Aggie FB players. May he R.I.P.

1958 Season:

A teammate, Randy Sims, also now deceased (a community leader in B/CS), was a very good pass receiver and a favorite target for QB Charlie Milstead. At 10 years old in 1959, I was following the Aggie football season and Thanksgiving was nearing. I was impressed with Randy Sims' receiving ability so I wrote a letter to Mr. Milstead suggesting a game plan, that he "hit Sims in the end zone".
.......I attended the Thanksgiving Day game on Kyle Field, sitting about 10 or 15 rows up, pressbox side, 20 yard line in the south end. Mr. Milstead threw a pass to Randy Sims and he caught the ball and came down straddling the goal line, one foot in the south end zone for a touchdown. The play happened right in front of me.
.......As a side note, in that same quarter Mr. Randy Sims set a world record with a 52 yard field goal kick between the uprights in the south end zone and the Aggies lead at the half, 10-0.
.......After the game, Mr. Milstead replied to my letter and included a news paper clipping of the game with photos of that play and he wrote, "Thanks for the tip". I never believed my letter influenced the play calling, but rather, I was impressed with how gracious he was.

The best bull

His older brother James died a month before him this year too. Sad for the Milstead family.
