I was sad to see this obit of my upper-year roommate at Exeter. We lived in Abbott Place, a small dorm razed to make room for the library and helped each other adjust to the strange and sometimes hostile school environment.
I very much enjoyed living with Kevin and am glad he made a good life for himself and his family. I did the sound for Dramat plays while I was there, so I got to watch Mr. Roberts in rehearsal and performance, and his dramatic recitations were always a highlight at reunions. My condolences go out to his family and friends. -- Brad Meyer, class of '60
