John,
I've been on your property many times with Roger and at times when Roger was not there. I never did find any gold but I did find a number of meteorites.

Roger was a founding member of WSPA. That was long before I joined the club but I had a chance to spend many nights at Roger's camp site in Gold Basin. He helped me find many meteorites and a bit of gold. I was always glad when I saw Roger's trailer at the WSPA outings. Over the last few years we didn't see much of Roger because of his health. I called him on a few occasions and we would have a good chat. I once stopped by his house and was privileged to see his favorite finds.
I was just informed by Roger's wife that he passed away yesterday in Lake Havasu. There will be a gathering on July 30 if you are interested.
I'll miss Roger but he is not suffering any more.

Bob, I thought that was you who was retired and then I found this:
