Mary,
I was sad to hear of Roger's passing. You are in my thoughts and prayers. I was a sales rep and always looked forward to talking to Roger at various Social Studies Conferences (NERC, NELMS). Roger was a true gentleman and professional. We were all lucky to know him.

I was saddened to read to day of Roger's passing. We have not seen each other in several years, but I have such fond memories of all the Social Studies Conferences - local,state, and national - that the two of you participated in over the many years of Jackdaws. His legacy is the wonderful resources he gave the social studies profession. Steve Goldberg, President of the Westchester Lower Hudson Council for the Social Studies

You are all in our thoughts and prayers. I have fond memories of Uncle Roger when I was a young girl. He had a wonderful laugh and knew how to give a great hug. I know he and my dad shared many good times. Love to you all. Lynn Jacques Richter

Mary, as you and your family go through the grieving process, just know you are in our thoughts and prayers. We may not have seen you and Roger in a couple of years, but we do think of you often, especially now when everyone is outside tending to their gardens, just as Roger did so beautifully. May he now fine peace among the angels and may you remain strong with the help of family and friends.
Fondly, Al and Sandy Marks
