Happy Birthday, Mr. Charles Mobley!

Posted on Tuesday, Oct. 20, 2009

Musician, teacher marks his 77th birthday

By BEA HINES

Charles Mobley, who has generously given the gift of music to hundreds of Miami-Dade County children and adults, was honored for this 77th birthday on Oct. 10 at the Miami Airport Hilton Hotel.

It was a grand occasion as relatives and longtime friends gathered to share their favorite ``Mr. Mobley'' stories and fellowship.

I first knew of the talented Mobley in 1950, when I was graduating from the sixth to the seventh grade at Liberty City Elementary School and he was hired to play the music for our graduation ceremony. Mobley was just graduating high school at the time.
