Not sure what to say?

We just discovered Roger's "Postcards from Nebraska" segments on RFD-TV. I remember them from the CBS Sunday Morning. We love it that he could just embrace who he was, knowing that everyday people and our natural world were more important than any earthly goods. If we could all strive to be more like Roger, our world would indeed be a better place. Peace to his family and friends and all who loved him.

Loved Postcards from Nebraska. Watched it over and over. Such wonderful stories. My favorite was the trucker that sent cards and letters to the wonderful folks at a nursing home.

My Wife and I were living in Chester, NE. And decided to take a trip to Dannebrog. What a memorable day that was. We got to meet Roger and then had dinner at Harriet´s Danish. Thoughts and prayers for the Family

We loved watching "Post Cards From Nebraska" every time it was on CBS - Sunday Morning. Like other followers we visited Dannebrog & ate at Harriet´s! We miss you ROGER - what a great legacy you left us!!! Thank you!!! Lee & Maria Nelson

Postcards From Nebraska - I watched every segment on the RFD Channel. Loved the episodes so much I visited Dannebrog several years ago. Met some very nice people there. The show always took me back to childhood. Sorry for your loss ... Prayers!!

Rest in Peace Master Storyteller. I have always enjoyed reading your posts and plan on reading your books. I remember my Mom interviewing you for the newspaper. She said it was one of the best interviews she ever did as she didn´t have to ask much and simply let you be you. She was enchanted and her story reflected her enchantment and your wit. May your travels over the fourth hill be filled with light, love and adventure. The denizens of your new home are in for a treat with your stories....
