This is the e-mail I got from Zachary about his Grandpa, Roger Sumner.
Feb. 07, 2007: Aunt Lorraine, Great to hear from you, the picture of Dad, Jim, Grandma and Grandpa is my favorite too. Grandpa was a Chief Warrant Officer and I still remember when Grandma and I had the times to talk about his army days she said how he was the youngest person to make Master Sergeant in the army in his day, such an accomplishment but doesn't surprise me with such an amazing man. I was wondering if you could tell me some stories of Grandpa when you guys were younger, I justhave so many questions all the time and know that you might be the one that can help me. It seems sometimes in life we always wait for that perfect time to sit down and ask questions but when our loved ones are taken from us, those times no longer exist. Not sure if Grandpa ever told you or maybe Grandma did, when I was a little boy Grandpa was my hero(still is), I wouldn't let a second go by where he wasn't directly in front of me. We would eat vienna sausages, whiz cheese and crackers and granny smith apples...just thinking about those days brings tears to my eyes...but those days I'll never forget. Sorry about rambling on, I just think this is so awsome how you are using the internet and e-mail, and I have so many questions about the Sumner family and I hope you have a wonderful day!
Love,
Zachary
