Roger;

Not only management but thought as well, especially as regards museums quo
educational institutions. He was one of the first to advocate showing the
public what goes on behind the facade of the exhibitions. He had a great
influence on so many of us.

"A little rule, a little sway,
 A sunbeam in a winter's day,
 Is all the proud and mighty have
 Between the cradle and the grave."
