ROGER WAS MY BEST FRIEND. WE MET IN 1961 AND WERE ROOMMATES AND SERVED AT SEVERAL STATIONS. I LOST TRACK OF HIM IN 1967 AFTER VIET NAHM. HE HAD COME TO SEE ME AT CAM HAHN BAY. I HEARD HE WAS KILLED IN A ROCKET ATTACK BUT LATER LEARNED THAT WAS NOT TRUE WHEN I TRIED TO FIND HIS NAME AT THE MEMORAL WALL. I HAVE SEARCHED FOR HIM EVER SINCE. I LOVED HIM MORE THAN A BROTHER AND HAVE WONDERED WHAT HAPPENED TO HIM AND WHERE HE WAS. I JUST GOT AN OLD SLIDE AND POSTED IT ON FB. MAY GOD BLESS HIS FAMILY. I AM SO SORRY.
