Great to hear from you again Roger. It was truly a pleasure meeting you in Columbus a few years back. Hope to see you there again! Stick around and join in the conversations!

Glad to hear from you again Roger. I enjoyed talking with you as our cars were being redone and love how yours turned out. Great job.

Hey Roger, I still maintain your Goat is the wickedest 69 I have ever seen. Still just as bad ass as the first time I saw it in person at Bill Howell's pad in Pigeon Forge a few years back.

Good to see you back buddy. Stay healthy.

Oohhhhh!! Okay, I remember this car. I remember reading about the build. Nice and very well done too.

Welcome back Roger, main thing is your health. Glad you are doing better and I love that GTO

Truly a beautiful car, one lucky kid, and most importantly best wishes with improving your health.

Roger, great to hear from you again. It wasn't that long ago that I was thinking about you and how you were doing.

Nice to hear from you Roger. Sorry to hear of your health issues. I know this is something you have been battling for sometime. Glad to hear you and your son still get out and enjoy one of the nicest GTO's I have ever seen! Take care of yourself!

Yeah guys the disease dilated cardiomyopathy hit me hard in 2007. I actually started to become ill at the end of my build in 2006 I just didn't understand the systems.

I'm fighting constant fatigue, exhaustion, shortness of breath. I have an impaired ability to be active or exercise. It takes some effort just typing these words out or walking around the house.

Unfortunately because of other health issues I am not a candidate for a heart transplant.

The good news I have now become a CNN JUNKIE, Movie JUNKIE, etc. That takes up most of my days now.

Roger,

I can't speak for every one here. But I will tell you that I have a great deal of respect for you.Although you've been knocked on your ass, you don't complain and take the hand you've been dealt. I think every man could take a lesson from your ordeal, knowing there is always some other dude that has it worse than most. I've been reminded of it again just today, by a dude named Roger.

Hang in there buddy, I'm pullin' for you.
