They regularly gathered at his shop to converse about topics of the day: theater, city government, national politics, rearing children, the neighborhood and especially sports. Mr. Alexander, co-owner since 1972 of Old Towne Sundries in the Lincoln Hotel on Chicago's Near North Side, died Wednesday. A resident of McHenry, he was 48.

Gerty, 101, a psychiatrist and past president of the American Psychiatric Association, revolutionized mental health care in the state in the early 1960s as director of the Illinois Department of Mental Health.

in that suburb. The change in mental health care in Illinois during the 1960s was dramatic. In a Tribune article earlier this year, Dr. Harold Visotsky, Dr. Gerty's successor, described what the system had been like prior to his efforts: "I called all the hospital superintendents together and asked them what they were most proud of during their tenures.

Some said that none of the patients had ever escaped. One said he could feed his hospital on 50 cents per patient per day. And another one said he got really high production out of the patients who worked on the hospital farm. I was astounded." In contrast, under Dr. Gerty, patients started receiving treatment and many of them began getting better.

(More than 71,000 people died on impact, 140,000 within five months.) In 1965 President Lyndon Johnson signed the Voting Rights Act into law.

In 1967 a state of emergency was lifted in the Detroit area two weeks after what was until then the bloodiest racial riot in U.S. history. In 1975 the United Nations Security Council refused to consider South Korea's application for UN membership. In 1978 Pope Paul VI died following a heart attack. He was 80.

Mr. Alexander acquired his nickname as a die-hard Boilermaker fan, although he never attended Purdue University in Indiana. His brother Bob recalls that when Purdue quarterback Mike Phipps failed to win the Heisman Trophy in 1969, "Charley sat down and wrote Phipps a letter, telling him how sorry he was."
