I remember the day I heard that Roger had been killed in a car wreck. I was in Frads IGA store on 61st street in East St. Louis. I thought it had to be a mistake. Those things didn't happen to kids our age. I've thought about him many times over the years. He was a friend. RIP Roger.
I remember hearing about it, and I was shocked. Roger and I used to dance in the mornings before school whenever we could. He was so much fun. His life was snuffed out way too soon.

As I recall, Roger was a student at SIU Carbondale and fell asleep while driving back and did not survive the crash.
Don't recall the year but it was 1965 give or take a year. Someone correct this if I am mistaken.
