A true advocate for Ridgewood
Linda McNamara

To the Editor:

I was unable to attend the reception at Village Hall in honor of Roger Wiegand, but wanted to add something from my own personal experiences with Roger.

I started attending council meetings years ago whenever there was an issue that seemed important to me. For a few years, I would notice Roger and Boyd Loving in the audience before ever actually speaking to them. They didn’t know this, but I was always so grateful to see them there as I felt they were the voices of reason in a sometimes diverse airing of opinions.

Soon I was chatting with Roger when I would see him riding his bike through the neighborhood. When I could corner him, I’d pick his brain on whatever the latest issue was.
