Hi Roger, I'm gutted to hear that you have decided to "call it a day". I respect your decision though. I will always remember you for being a very sporting kind of guy - thank you for your encouragement for my design of the "Westenra of Christchurch NZ" tartan and for wearing those colours with pride at Hayley concerts! It was always fun spending time with you at Concerts. Remember the time we sat up all night in McDonalds in Gatwick Airport drinking coffee after Hayley's Concert at the Cadogan Hall in 2006? LOL  Thank you for all of your valiant efforts on the 'HWI' Website and Forum over the years. All the very best Roger. You will be sadly missed here. Take care.

Wow. I'm quite shocked. It's all so sudden! I hope, Roger, that it's not too serious. I wish you happiness and luck for the future. I hope to still see you at all of Hayley's concerts. You will be missed here.  Thank you for all of your hard work, and for all of the generosity you have shown me in the past. |

Hi All
This decision is as much a shock to me as it is to you.
Let us all continue to support the site, and Hayley, as vigorously and honestly as we have always endeavoured, and to continue Roger's legacy to our best ability.
Best Wishes

This is a very sad day for HWI.

Hello Roger
I am deeply shocked to hear that you are no longer at the helm of HWI though I know through your love and respect for everything that HWI stands for, that you will not have taken the decision to step down lightly.
I too hope that we will still see you at concerts as I count you as a very special friend and one of the many I have made through this amazing forum.
I find it hard to imagine HWI without you, but I know it will go on and continue it's support of all things Hayley.
God bless
Grant

Hi Roger,
This is one of the last things I had expected to see when I logged on and it has certainly come as a big shock. Although saddened, I respect your decision as i know that it wouldn't have been taken lightly.
Not only have you been very freindly and welcoming and form gatherings, I have also had the pleasure of working with you on the AAI forum and I would like to thank you for all of your help and advice when handing the forum over to me.
Finally, thank you for all of your hard work and dedication here on HWI, you have played a massive part in making the forum what it is today and although you will certainly be missed, I am sure the forum will continue to grow stronger.
I wish you all the best for the future.
Dazza
