I met Roger on August 4, 2000. I was standing outside of the OLTL studio with two of my friends and we had already met a couple of the other actors. We were trying to figure out if we were going to have a chance to see Roger by thinking about if any of the other actors we had seen usually shared scenes with Roger and whether he would be there that day or not. LOL! All of a sudden Roger drives down the street right in front of us in his green range rover and pulls into the parking garage near by the OLTL studio. My friends and I were going into cardiac arrest. LOL! The next thing we know Roger is walking down the sidewalk towards us wearing a blue tank top, blue shorts and blue running shoes with no socks. He had his dog with him, which was a very pretty black lab. (I think that's what kind it was) I turned my back to him, I guess to compose myself, lol. The next thing I know I hear my friend Christina's voice behind me asking Roger if she can take his picture and I turned around in time to see Roger smile a really big, kinda goofy smile and say "No. Anything else?" He started walking passed us again and I said "yeah, can I have your autograph?" He did this funny little stop in his tracks and came back towards us and said "sure! absolutely!" I was stunned for a second I think and said "Oh, ok." I started fumbling around in my purse for a pen which I had had 5 minutes before but of course at that time I couldn't find it. I was rummaging through my purse and my maybelline 3 in 1 stick fell out of my purse and rolled right up against Roger's shoe. He bent down and picked it up and handed it to me. I was so embarassed but I thought it was funny too and I think I shook my head and said something like "Oh my God" then I said "Thanks. I'm sorry." and he shrugged and said "Why are you sorry?" Well, I didn't know why I was sorry, lol, so I just said "because I'm throwing my stuff at you." Well, I was kinda talking to myself about where my pen was and poor Roger was being so patient and probably thought I was half crazy. Finally I asked my friends Christina and Cassy if they had pens and they both said no and then I looked at Roger and asked him if he had a pen, already knowing that there was no where for him to keep a pen. LOL! So I gave up on the pen and said "I'm sorry, I can't find a pen." and he said "Ok, well I can go inside and get one and I'll come right back out" and I said "Ok" and he and his dog went inside and he came back out with a fat black sharpie marker. I handed him my little notepad and he asked me what my name was and how to spell it. I was thinking that I better get an autograph for my friend Jennifer back home too so I said "Can I get one for my friend Jennifer too please?" and he said "sure" and then asked "Is that with a J?" and I said "Yeah," and spelled her name about 100 miles an hour. My friend Cassy had been quiet the whole time so I said "what about you?" She said "yeah, I want one too." Roger said "Ok, what's your name?" and she told him Cassy with a "C" and then Roger asked her if that was short for Cassandra. Then he asked us where we were from and being from different places we both answered him at the same time which sounded kind of funny. Roger just gave us this cute little look like "okkkkk!" and smiled. It was funny. We thanked him and that was it. It was so great and he was so sweet and nice. I hope everyone enjoyed my story. :-)
