Roger, my Flight Instructor and Friend

May 24
It is with much sadness that I heard of Roger's "Going West". He was my flight instructor in the old days of Fremont Airport and then at Hayward Executive Airport in the early and mid 80's. 
Later, in 1991 and 1992 , we collaborated on some software development. 
I went back to Ohio and he moved on to Stockton.
I still remember the things he taught me in flying and in life. 
Thank you for being my friend. 'Til we meet again!
