I know we posted on here about visiting him but I've searched the old threads and can't find it. I did find a couple great old pictures of Roger and his wife Anita at the Southern. Those were some fun times, not hardly a week goes by I don't think of him.

Those were some good days. Roger and the other gentleman pictured are both gone now. As I recall, Roger made one of the early Parker challenge teams.

I visited with him a couple of times at his house in Toledo. A true gentleman. I think about him every time I drive through Toledo on 75.
