His continual good spirits, and ability to organize and direct, made him an excellent cotillion chairman. If anyone were to count his friends the list would be never ending. Roger's ability to get along with fellow men will prove to be his greatest asset in future endeavors. He always gets what he goes after, and who deserves it more than he.
