Charles E. Whalen Jr. — known to everyone as “Gus” — had a long, successful career with the Warren Featherbone Co., maker of baby clothes. Since the company sold out in 2005, Whalen has tried to make his mark improving the community. He and others formed the Featherbone Communiversity as an intergenerational learning community, and from that has sprung the Masters Series that honors the best of the best in several fields of work.
