Roger Sumner


From what I remember and am hearing Roger spent 20 years or more in the Army, sometimes Isabell and the boys would live near the base in another country, I believe they lived in Germany at one time. He was stationed at Fitz Simmons General Hospital, in Colorado for quiet some time. He was sent to Korea during the war, he was in the Mash Unit so he saw the condition of the soldiers when they brought them in wounded for he and the medical team to care for. I remember reading a letter from him talking about how terrible it was to see those young boys in such a terrible shape. Roger had a big heart and cared about the soldiers who were wounded.
