Roger's Story
Life
I left Frenship Jr. High in Feb.'65 in the 6th grade and enrolled in Pahranagat Valley Elementary in Alamo, Nevada. I was there through 10th grade and moved to Caliente, Nev. and finished high school at Lincoln Co. High in Panaca,Nev. in 1971. The following year I attended Utah Technical College in Salt Lake City to study machine tool technology. I got married in Nov. '73 and stayed that way until early 2000, when it just didn't work out anymore. I did have a great son and daughter who are doing well on their own, though. I moved to Tempe, AZ in July '74 and worked in the area for 5 years before moving to the White Mtns. where I've been at the same job for the last 29 years. I'd taken a number of years off from playing music to have time for my family and career to grow a bit, but started playing with several different bands over the years here on weekends. One group I played with appeared on stage with country stars Eddie Raven and Skip Ewing. Sure was fun! I don't play much anymore, but it is still fun, occasionally.My winter weekends are now spent as a ski instructor at Sunrise Park near my home in Show Low.

I finally am pursuing my dream of self-employment as 2008 rolls around. I have started a machine shop here in Show Low and am looking forward to the day when I can be there full time. It would be nice to hear from some of my old friends again. Drop me an email.

College
My fondest memories of Utah Tech were not only the day to day happenings with my roommates and classmates, but several weekends of keggers at the famous apartment complex a stone throw off campus on Redwood Road. The most memorable event had to be UTC Day in May of'72, quarterbacking my football team "I Felthe Thi" to a sloppy, drunken loss to our Architectural Drafting challengers. President Jay Nelson, you should be canonized in sainthood for your kind tolerance to our schoolboy antics that day. Some great officiating by Dave Ballard, our registrar and Larry Christensen also needs recognition on that fine afternoon. All silliness aside, I did graduate and have worked in my field ever since, believe it or not!
