Rev. Clyde Roach

From Calobe Jackson, Jr., July 01, 2006

Trina,

Was the late Rev. Clyde Roach a member of your family?  He was a really great person.  In 1993, former Governor Leader took a group to visit the Farrell, Pennsylvania school district.  With the help of Rev. Roach I was able to join this group. Rev. Roach and Gov. Leader were very close.

Mayor Reed constructed a very nice memorial to Rev. Roach.  It is located on the northern end of Italian Lake.  I often take walks around the lake and visit this site.

Best Regards,
Calobe Jackson, Jr.
