November 7, 2008
For a second consecutive year, Roger accepted an invitation to participate in the Roots in the Cave genealogy conference at Mammoth Cave National Park. Descendants of landowners who gave up their property in the early 1900s for the creation of the park shared stories and historic photos. During a lantern-light trip into Mammoth Cave, Roger read several pages from his forthcoming historical novel Grand, Gloomy and Peculiar: Stephen Bishop at Mammoth Cave.

January 26, 2008
Roger was the keynote speaker at the 27th annual Carter Caves State Resort Park Crawlathon in Kentucky, where he talked about his fifth and upcoming book, "Grand, Gloomy, and Peculiar: Stephen Bishop at Mammoth Cave," a novel based on the true story of the famed slave-guide who was responsible for many early discoveries in the world’s longest cave.

November 3, 2007
Roger was honored to address approximately 50 attendees at the Roots in the Cave genealogy conference at Mammoth Cave National Park. This event brought together descendants of many farmers and other landowners who gave up their property in the early 1900s for the creation of the park. Roger talked about three important explorers: Stephen Bishop, George Morrison and Floyd Collins, each of whom influenced many other explorers, guides and cave developers.

October, 2005
Congratulations to the cast and crew of the University of Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music's production of "Floyd Collins" in October, 2005, for doing an outstanding job. It was a privilege for me to attend the opening night performance and hold a Q&A with the audience. Thank you to everyone who came, and thanks to director R. Terrell Finney and Katie Rankin of the CCM public relations department for their hospitality and kind words about "Trapped! The Story of Floyd Collins."
