After retiring from BNA, Roger and Sharyn moved to Myrtle Beach, SC, which became their new home. In Myrtle Beach, Roger started a new career with the Horry County School System as a school bus driver. Roger and Sharyn also joined Christ the Servant Lutheran Church and became very involved members. Here is where Roger was able to continue his love and passion for music in the church band and choir.
