Roger was the best boss I ever had. I worked for him at Weyerhauser in Middlebury. Learned a lot from him.
Mad one night, I told Roger —I quit —. He bought me a cup of coffee, told me to think it over. I drank the coffee, came out, went back to work —- nothing was ever mentioned about it again. RIP Roger!

I stayed in the Carton Industry, and because of Roger, was superintendent later at a small plant in Ft. Wayne.
