From Trina Roach-Raschke, August 27, 2006 In reply to Calobe Jackson's letter of 1 July 2006

Calobe,

YES! Rev. Clyde Roach was one of my father, Oliver's, younger brothers. For many years our families lived almost next door to one another on North 15th Street. I know about the great friendship between Gov. Leader and my uncle, and have also visited the memorial at Italian Lake.

Although it has been many years since he passed, Uncle Clyde is remembered and sorely missed by the entire family!

Kind regards!

Trina
