Please be assured that I by no means intended to disparage Charlie, who has contributed many fine puzzles.  I saw no way to get around DCG as equilateral/equiangular (since CDG was given as 60, and DC and DG were also give as equal), from which the proof follows as Rosy showed.  I was uncertain about the drawing to scale because this also made CG equal FG.  My interest and inclinations are more to the logico-numeric than the verbal or geometric, so I should simply have bypassed this one.
