Memories of Roger Stone

Thought I'd post the last e-mail I got from Roger -- looked routine at that time, but totally different now:

I need to let ya'll know I going to be gone for a couple of weeks in June. I'm participating in this year's Veracruz Regatta. I will be gone from Friday 6/6 through Friday6/20. I'll need a driver for those 11 work days. Thanks,

Roger is a great man for what he did. The word hero gets thrown around quite a bit. But Roger was definitely a hero. He sacrficed his life to safe the live of others. My heart goes out to his family. He was a husband and father, and his family will remember him as a hero as well.
