I treasure the experience of being Roger's zoom partner on one of the group classes in that first Birdsong Academy course. You don't need me to tell you how very proud of you he was. I am glad I got the chance to witness it and hear about the great pleasure he took from seeing you doing what you love and are so good at.

What a wonderful parent. I’m sure your presence and the many memories he had of you and your brother were a comfort to your dad as he made that final journey. A beautiful remembrance. My thoughts are with you, Charlie.
