I hope nobody takes offense at this. I mean it with the greatest respect. I followed Roger some years ago because he had a company named Galloway Trucking and I was Vice President-Marketing for 5 years for Overdrive Magazine--the trucking publication. Even more so, because he and I shared not only he same last name--but, the same first name as well. We both were almost the same age. My deepest condolences, although regrettably belated. I hope I can continue giving value to our mutual name. My background has primarily been in the radio, TV/movie business, but, I believe we both have had wonderful friendships throughout our lives. Take care all! Roger C. Galloway
