Murray Mack Gilkeson III (1968)

 

My favorite year was in 1970 -71 when I roomed with Roger Wood and Doug Galloway on Harrison Ave.  A couple of years later Roger and I shared a house with Jon Lines on Blanchard St.  while Jon was in the Navy and came home on weekends.  I was attending Pitzer, so I applied to get a show on KSPC at Pomona College.  Roger had experience so he became my engineer and co-host.  At the end of the year he and Jon moved up to Springfield, Oregon.   I followed up just for a visit, but decided to enroll at the University of Oregon and get my  credential.  Job prospects were bleak in education, so I returned to California to sub and wait tables, but for Roger there was no turning back. He followed his Oregon dream and found a career in environmentalism in State Government.  Roger made a mark on all who knew him and is deeply missed.  I'm glad that he found happiness up in the Northwest, especially when I consider what a good friend he had always been to me.
