My deep sympathies to Roger’s family! When my mother (Ruth Mithus Olson) passed away, Roger sent me a letter telling me that his great grandmother (Siri Disrud) and my great grandmother (Eli Thon Mithus) were sisters! We got together a few times and shared photos. I am so sorry that I will not not be able to see him again and that he won’t be able to meet my brother.
