Bon Voyage Roger!

After 34 years in the education business, Roger is calling it quits!...a complete, totally massive final sale....lasting 'til the end of June!

All sales final.....he's closing the doors.....no really....because he's got some new doors to open.....behind door #1: starting on July 1....the door to his private deck on a beautiful Mediterranean Cruise......and to avoid the "I sure miss you guys" blahs of September (ya right) Roger will be heading off on another cruise...this time Hawaii!!

Please join us in wishing Roger bon voyage as he trades his familiar spot at Surrey Connect for a deck chair, or two. We'll be launching ol' Roger the Codger off at our year end staff party, but we also wanted to invite past colleagues to participate in some online memories and well wishes.

Take a few moments....to browse....and contribute......because he really means it this time......absolute final sale!...no backing out now (cruise is booked).......everything (including Roger) must go!

Bon Voyage, Roger


Dare I say we have been colleagues for over a quarter of a century? How can I forget the days at GP when you taught across the hall from me. We borrowed your skeleton for our Hamlet speech, Act V; you stole my English class and I kidnapped your Science students; you wrote a sonnet and delivered it eloquently to inspire the Lit 12 students to reach an iambic pentameter high; we discussed the biblical origins of great literature, the subtleties of Donne's metaphysical conceits and the public speaking strategies for the literature students competing in the Speech Meets. I watched you guide and inspire beginning teachers. You really are a Renaissance Man and few know the broad range of educational experiences as do you: from Science classroom, to Homebound and Distributed Learning. We will all miss you very much.
