Pat, I'm very sorry to see that Roland passed away. I remember talking with the two of you at DKH rehab when Ray also exercised there. He enjoyed talking with and kidding with Roland. Ray passed away Nov 28, 2018. Now, they can kid together again. Thinking of you and my prayers to you. Georgette Rohrig.
