I missed this thread when it was first posted, great piece Aaron

 

lol, I didn't realize this was an old thread, I was wondering what was going on

 

Welcome to the forum, @Charlene Kelly .
Gorgeous duckies, I would love to see the others.
Waiting patiently

 

Am so happy this thread reappeared! I felt such an extraordinary kinship with aaron's duck! Or my reaction to it anyway.

 

Here are the rest of my ducks. I had them displayed with them in a line to land on the plate, hoping to do again when I get settled.

 

Gorgeous. And great fun.

 

I dated Roger and Gwen's daughter, Darby, for over two years while in high school, and played soccer with their oldest son Garrett. I loved Roger, and his family! He is part of some of the best memories of my youth and one of the greatest men that I knew. I went with him and helped, a little, with a few of the art shows in St. George and Park City. I also had him as a ceramics teacher for three different classes that he taught at Utah Valley State College (now, Utah Valley University). He was a good friend to me. I always thought of him as a big child because he was so good-natured and seemed to take real joy in simple things. I respected him because he was a veteran of the Vietnam war, and he seemed to suffer from some PTSD. I never knew the details, but it seemed that he he had been through some terrible things due to the war. Anyway, I thought I would chime in and pay tribute to Roger. He was a great artist and a great man!

 

For the record, he loved antiques! His house was filled with old treasures. I went on a road trip with Roger and his family to the Oregon coast and we stopped at several antique shops along the way

 

Little guy is so adorable!

 

Matt, what a lovely tribute to him. Thanks so much for sharing your story.
