Wow, what a great way to start your retirement! :D

Is there a mistake in the article? It says he left the school at 4am...

I saw that article the other day! I don't remember him at MRHS, but sounds like he was a great teacher! One of my high school favorites (Miss Hatt) retired from there this year too!

(Miss Hatt was my favorite too!)

Roger wasn't teaching there when you were there I don't think. He was always in Lawrencetown when I was growing up, but I'm not sure when he started at MRHS. I used to babysit his kids and he and his wife are very close friends of my parents. Roger's wife is also a runner and she is blind. I saw her finish the Valley Harvest HM last year. They are an amazing family!

I should look that good on the day I retire.
