Charles Foley (inventor)
Charles Foley (September 6, 1930 – July 1, 2013) was the co-inventor of the game Twister, with Neil W. Rabens. Twister Foley received only 2.5% royalties for three years from Milton Bradley, which amounted to about $27,000. The game became a sensation after Johnny Carson and Eva Gabor played it on ''The Tonight Show'' in 1966. Hasbro took over the manufacturing of the game. Personal Foley was born in Lafayette, Indiana and before he was 10 years old made his first invention, a locking system for the cattle pen at his grandfather's farm. He attended school through the eighth grade and as a young man he worked as a salesman. He served in the Michigan Air National Guard and worked on the assembly line at the Ford Motor Company before taking a job at Lakeside Toys in Minneapolis. He moved his family to Minnesota in 1962. He invented dozens of other toys and games, and had 97 patented inventions. In 1995, Charles Foley's son, Mark Foley, and Douglas Farley founded Doumar Produc ...

Charles Foley (journalist)
Charles Foley (1908–1995) was an Indian-born British journalist. Biography Foley was born in India on 29 November 1908 and began working as a journalist in Paris on the ''Paris Herald'', a European edition of the ''New York Herald'' later known as the ''International Herald Tribune''. From 1940 to 1955 he served as foreign editor on the British newspaper ''The Daily Express''. In 1954 he interviewed Hitler's former commando chief, Otto Skorzeny – then living in Madrid. Foley subsequently wrote ''Commando Extraordinary, Otto Skorzeny'' (Longman Green, London, 1954), a well-crafted but laudatory account of Skorzeny's war-time exploits. In 1955 Foley moved to Cyprus and took over ''The Cyprus Times'' newspaper at a moment in the island's history when a civil war was breaking out between Greek and Turkish Cypriots, and the Greek Cypriot EOKA movement was starting an armed struggle against the British colonial government in Cyprus. He later published a number of books on Cypr ...

Charles Foleÿ (playwright)
Charles is a masculine given name predominantly found in English and French speaking countries. It is from the French form ''Charles'' of the Proto-Germanic name (in runic alphabet) or ''*karilaz'' (in Latin alphabet), whose meaning was "free man". The Old English descendant of this word was '' Ċearl'' or ''Ċeorl'', as the name of King Cearl of Mercia, that disappeared after the Norman conquest of England. The name was notably borne by Charlemagne (Charles the Great), and was at the time Latinized as ''Karolus'' (as in ''Vita Karoli Magni''), later also as '' Carolus''. Some Germanic languages, for example Dutch and German, have retained the word in two separate senses. In the particular case of Dutch, ''Karel'' refers to the given name, whereas the noun ''kerel'' means "a bloke, fellow, man". Etymology The name's etymology is a Common Germanic noun ''*karilaz'' meaning "free man", which survives in English as churl (< Old English ''ċeorl''), which developed it ...
