average. After earning his bachelor's degree in physical education, he
spent two years in the U.S. Army as a combat platoon leader. In the summer of
1958 he married Mary Whitworth, returning to Illinois that fall to earn a
master's degree. After two years of teaching and coaching at Somers, New York, he
came to UMF in 1961 as an instructor of physical education and coach of men's
basketball and baseball. Following successful tenures in these sports, he
became athletics director and coached men's soccer and golf. His
leadership in each of the sports helped UMF gain a reputation of a high-quality
athletics program recognized throughout New England. Roger developed the
soccer program from its infancy to be ranked third in New England in 1968. The golf program has also had incredible success, considering
the location of UMF. There have been numerous state and district
championships and eight appearances in the national tournaments (six in the last
seven years). Roger continues to coach the UMF golf team, and is reported to
be the nation's winningest golf coach. He has been named NAIA District
Five Golf Coach of the Year five times. Roger established the philosophy under which UMF athletics has
operated for more than thirty years. This commitment to an educationally
sound approach to athletics has yielded the outstanding reputation that we enjoy
today. An associate professor in the Department of Health and
Rehabilitation, Roger specializes in therapeutic recreation. His
decision to step down as athletics director was due to his commitment to
teaching upper-level courses on a desired, sequential basis for students
majoring in rehabilitation services. Roger's retirement from the athletics director's position after
32 years was instrumental in the inception of the UMF Athletics Hall of Fame.
It seemed right that we should honor him as the first inductee after so many
years of dedicated service.
