(He&#39;s second from the left in the choir.) Roger took on the chairship of what was then ISOCNZ even though it was putting his head above the parapet as it were - his telco employer didn&#39;t approve iirc. Roger coped with Parkinson&#39;s for a the latter part of his life, nevertheless he was still sometimes active, speaking sense even when he found it hard to get the words out.
