He enjoyed a thirty-year career at Marianopolis College as a teacher and administrator. He taught a wide variety of English literature courses, while never letting a semester go by without at least one course on the plays of Shakespeare. In retirement he and his wife, Kate, divide their time between Sutton and Lake Memphremagog, where Kate’s family has lived for many decades. Roger’s enthusiasm for Shakespeare has been kept alive by teaching at the Bishop’s University extension program in Knowlton, and giving public seminars to interested audiences.
