Welcome to the Panjumbie.com Photo Gallery
I had not seen Roger since we were both teenagers.

Roger lived across the street from me when we were growing up and was one of my childhood best friends and playmates. Roger's older sister, Barbara babysat both me and my younger brother Steve.

Roger went to U Mass and got a degree in Computer Science, went to work for IBM and moved to Burlington Vermont. I got my degree in EE, moved to Long Island NY, got a job with Grumman and then ABC TV. We lost touch for a while, eventually reconnected and exchanged Christmas Cards and occasional phone calls.

When I spent an afternoon earlier in this trip wandering along the New York coast of Lake Champlain and saw there was a bridge across it to Vermont, the thought occurred to me that I might be able to pay Roger a visit and meet him for the first time since we were teenagers. I reached him by phone. He was staying at his summer camp not too far from Burlington, and I was able to pay him a visit on my way home from the Adirondacks.

Getting to see Roger after all these years was one of the highlights of my trip.
