Father-son photo moving

Sat., Oct. 9, 2010

The picture of Army Reservist Steven Roger and his son Ryan on the front page of The Spokesman Oct. 2 is the most touching photo I have ever seen. Even without reading the caption under it, both my wife and I were in tears.

It is spectacular, and if ever a photo deserved awards, that one certainly does.

God bless both Steven and Ryan, and may they always have good health and happiness.

Thank you so very much for choosing that picture for the front page.
