North Worcester Street 1970. My favorite childhood house. Father, Army Recruiter. Wake up at 5am to the Farmer's Report, waiting for Saturday morning cartoons. Chickens, a pig named after my cousin Alice. pear trees, tad poles, big black run down barn, a giant willow beside the dirt drive. Bobby and Billy, neighborhood twins raiding my fathers hot pepper patch, *snicker, Cindy and Debbie Liberty, baby sitting sisters across the street. 1971?-74 Mansfield, MA. Spalding Elementary School, Mrs. Appleman, 1st grade teacher. A chocolate factory, oooh yumm, the smells everyday the wind is right. also lived in a second house on North Main Street.

Roger E Donais
As told by one of 3 sons; Born one of three children to Doris and Josephat Raphael Donais. Born in Attleboro, MA. is my best guess. Roger's siblings are Eugene and Yvonne. Wedded: sometime before I was born to Lorna Irene Snow. Children; Bonnie Lee, Joseph Arthur, Maria Louis, Maurice Charles and Roger Edward Jr. My father spent his retirement from the US Army Corps of Engineers doing the one thing he had always dreamed of, building PCs from the empty boards up through the capacitors & resistors, etc... home made PCs. Yes, Roger loved to cook... from scratch in the kitchen and at his messy desk. Then he would write the programs from scratch, line by line, programming them on to cassette tapes, (1977-81). It was a true love. When he retired, Roger broke out of his *closet hobby* and went professional. Having been formally educated by his employers, Roger had ten fingers in assisting with The Library of Congress's efforts to globalize, in short, a book search, new, old, classic, ancient.., that we may all still be using. The last thing he did was his second love, bicycling. From Rte. 1 Bangor, ME. to the Florida Keys. If I am not mistaken it was on his second trip on a bicycle he could fold in half and stow under a Grey Hound Bus that he died. Roger was found within his tent, in his sleeping bag west of Miami, FL. In the woods off the side of the road three days after his death. I wish to believe my farther died content. I could wish he died with no regrets, but it his hard enough for me to fathom such a thing for myself. Knowing him, he was not an easy man to get along with. He was hard and if he was ever pleased showing it was hard too. I am 50 now and I must say, I understand well. Forgiven. My father excelled, whether he knew it or not, with his first son. Maybe not in every/many ways he wanted to but some times... when you bake a cake things happen... and it still comes out much better than you think. It wasn't one of three old moth eaten wool army blankets he left me. He left himself in me, his awesome sensibility, creativity and a love for growing gardens, picking blueberries under a hot summer sun and jumping off the bridge at skinner's pond, (mind the snakes mom), and much, much more. I really miss you dad.
