The story of Roger Cardwell...a strange fella

First off the above photo is not of Roger Cardwell but of someone who looks a lot like Roger Cardwell so those of you who don't know him can get a visual of who we are talking about.

Roger Cardwell was a tall lanky fella who walked with a limp and I think was 24 when I had my Freshman Home Economics class with him. For some reason that the universe has yet to explain..we were in the same group in cooking class. Mind you I was a insecure 14 year old kid that weighed a buck o'five and had glasses bigger than my head. Anyway Roger would come into class acting like The Undertaker (WWE Wrestler) with his eyes rolled back and his face trembling and I never knew how to handle it. One day he said at prom he was going to have a hearse drive him in..and have pall bearers carry his casket in..then they will open it up and he will come out and dance. I didn't go to prom my freshmen year so I don't know if Roger's dream ever came true..but seriously it would have been Hot Hot Japan Hot if it did go down.
If anyone knows what became of Roger please feel free to let us know.

That's a close likeness you found! But, you needed to photoshop some crutches under his arm. I've never seen anyone move as fast on crutches as he did. He could've given Carl Lewis a run for his money.

Wasn't Roger still in school when you graduated?? Or did they finally let him go after he had been there longer than half the teachers?

I have seen him come in the feed mill once or twice, looks exactly the same!!
