Here is the photo of the Christmas card from Roger.
It has a full page spread in our book on the Golden Era from 1970 to 1980 |

Roger raced in the late 60's and early 70"s. He had a picture in his office of one of his boats sticking through both side of a yacht! I would love to find a copy of that picture! Best Regards |
