I just discovered this site. Had been using "The Wall". I am pretty sure Roger was in my Basic and AIT companies at Fort Dix starting 1 Oct '68. He was definitely with me mid-Feb '69 as we started OCS at Benning 61st company, 6th battalion, 2nd brigade. He was an outstanding candidate in all respects. After graduation he was assigned to the 5th battalion as a TAC, I went to the 9th in the same role. I arrived in Viet Nam 7/1970, did not know of his passing for many years. Sincerest condolences to his family and many friends.
