Message From Roger

I would first like to thank "Marlene" for creating and maintaing this site, as well as www.brokenwheelranch.com, and keeping the memories of the "Fury Show" and others like it alive. And thank YOU for dropping in and visiting. It is great to hear from friends and acquaintances from my very checkered past. There are several biographies of me out there and none of them are completely accurate so I will try & set the record straight here.

After graduating from Whittier Christian High School in Whittier, CA., I surfed, played drums, and chased girls for a year until Uncle Sam got hold of me. I spent 2 years 7 months,12 days and 10 hours and 35 minutes in the Army. I went to jump-school at Ft. Benning and Special Forces Training at Ft. Bragg, NC and I spent a year w/ the 46th Special Forces Company in southeast Asia before coming home in 1970.

My wife Sharie, and I moved to Texas shortly thereafter, and during the past 39 years I've spent time as a longshoreman, a pipefitter, a welder, a bull-rider, a cop in Beaumont, Vidor and Jasper, a lumberjack, a milkman, a FedEx truck driver, a prison guard (that really sucked), a Lifeguard, a football/basketball coach at a private school in Beaumont, a boiler-tender, and I've even served as a lay-Pastor for some small membership churches who were very patient with me, considering I wasn't very good at it.

Right now I climb and inspect wind turbines in different parts of the country, and when I get tired of this I will go and find something new to do. For fun I ride my mustang "Sonny" that I adopted from the government. I like to hunt and sell live rattlesnakes, and play drums in the praise band at Zion Lutheran Church in Abilene where my wife and I attend. I also play guitar and sing with Kathryn Holland and Robert Partin in "The Lone Star Trio". (You can follow us on my facebook page.)

God is good and has really blessed me. Sharie is as pretty as ever, the kids are all smart and the 6 grandkids?.....well, don't get me started.
