Bio
My new chapter in life is learning how to capture the beauty of the world in oil.
In my 19-year newspaper career, I exposed cops who owned crack houses. My reporting led an Ohio Supreme Court justice to break the ribs of another in a fight. I won top investigative awards, including the Pulitzer Prize with a talented newsroom of reporters and the Silver Gavel from the American Bar Association, its highest award for reporting on the legal system.
As a bishop, I was surrounded by Saints who turned "test" into testimony. I am among pioneers of Kentucky Proud, a state marketing program linking farm families to buyers at grocery stores, restaurants, and manufacturing plants.
And then I reached death’s door in April 2017 and was given one more assignment — reporting from heaven. My second book, Love, Grandpa, resulted.
My first book in 2009 was about the ace pitcher who took the Cubs to the 1929 World Series, Root for the Cubs: Charlie Root and the 1929 Chicago Cubs.
Roger and wife Linda, of Frankfort, Kentucky, have two daughters, Rachel and Hannah, son-in-law Joshua Brown, and grandchildren Izzy, Noah, and Ruby.
