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!

It always amazed me that Roger could hold down a full time job, have a family and still have time to perform. The time I knew him at Guildford Park, he was always smiling and joking around. I remember a time he came to my Art Room to ask a question. I was sitting on my stool at the front of the classroom and Roger stood behind me. He decided to give me a neck massage. It felt so good, I found myself moaning out loud and saying "this feels so good....(moaning long drawn out sounds). It suddenly occurred to both of us that the students stopped what they were doing and just stared at us. Roger and I leaped away from each other and brisquely stated our business and went on our way. It was funny to realize our innocent action created a totally different reaction from the students.

My only regret is that I never saw Roger perform on Stage. I knew his family was involved and I thought how lucky he was to have his family involved in the same passion for performing. I know he and his family will continue with their passion and I wish him the best of luck in his retirement. It's not really a retirement, it is just another phase of his life.
