His first foray into model railroading was after he retired as an NCAA football and wrestling referee. Looking for a new hobby, he visited a local train show where he met current president Kendall Rascoe and the late Jim Corbett. Both were present at the show representing the club and they invited him to stop by and visit. He attended the next club business meeting and was voted in as a probationary member, earning full status a couple of months later. An avid Union Pacific fan, he models multiple types of the western railroad to include steam legends the “Challenger” and “Big Boy.” Roger was awarded the club’s Golden Spike Award in 2016 for his contributions to the club.
