Retirements

Roger Boyer

Roger Boyer retired from the Potomac Headwaters RC&D office after 16 years. The Journal, on their editorial page, summed up the success of Roger Boyers RC&D career.

Boyer has been one of the hardest working government employees to serve this area ever. He seemed to be everywhere and involved in everything. Always helpful, offering incomparable expertise and resources in so many diverse fields.

But he never sought the spotlight, never sought center stage. Because the whole idea of the RC&Ds is to involve local volunteers in the solutions, Boyer always pushed the volunteers to the forefront for the notoriety and publicity.

There is no doubt, and Boyer would be the first to say so, that none of the numerous projects undertaken by the PHRC&D would be possible without involvement of local volunteers, but we think the volunteers would say that their goals would not have been reached without the steady, guiding hand of Boyer.

One gets the feeling that Boyer truly and deeply believed in what he was doing and enjoyed doing it. The community will miss Roger Boyer, but we will have many reminders of his time here through the many projects he shepherded through of fruition.
