Mr Roger and Mrs Carolyn were so good to us Ridle girls growing up. What fabulous memories I have of late night card games and the first fried turkey I ever had. For alittle while I actually thought he was the voice of Donald Duck. He was an incredible man and I am so sorry that he is gone. Much love and prayers.
