Hey, who the hell are you people? You finally found & discovered the “MAN”.. We call him the Genro, for one reason or another.. If you are incredibly smart you will find some spot for this extreme personality which should be heard & seen by all.. A very genuine human being, thank you , John Walczak..

Hi Roger,
Couldn’t resist writing to you! Happened across your site by accident and was blown away. You look happy and healthy. So am I. I have a beautiful son that just got married. We all live on the Peninsula. We lost Joe to cancer last September. I recently saw Vince O’Malley. He finally married again. Glad to see you so happy and I will buy your new book!
Love, Ande
