Remembering Roger!


Launa Menlove noted on FB on Friday that it was the 12th anniversary of Roger's death.  Many years ago, Harry and Harry went on a backpacking trip to the High Sierras.  He later told Roger about it, and Roger wanted to be involved in the next one.  Thus began a tradition of many years of backpacking trips involving Roger and sons, Harry and son, Bob Miller and sons,  Mike White Jr, Mark Hanke, and others.  Roger - ever the efficient engineer - suggested that only one camera be hauled up and then the photos sent to everyone.  He even labeled them!!  And there were - and are - lots of photos!! Here are 3 of them!


Bob Miller, Roger Menlove, Harry Terrill - later when Harry F. was filling out his Eagle application, it was noted that he had never gone to an official Scout camp - so Bob wrote up their many backpacking trips as "Scout Camp!"
 

This was a tiny thumbnail print when I was looking through the photos - so I wasn't sure who it was - but it's Mike White Jr. enjoying a pretty good catch I would say!!

Some great memories that come in conversation all the time!
