Special Tribute

Last night, I attended the retirement party of Dr. Ralph Roach. Dr. Roach is leaving the Zangmeister Center (Mid-Ohio Oncology-Hematology) to work closer to home in Chillicothe, Ohio. Many friends and family attended the special tribute for Dr. Roach, including Jorma Kaukonen.

Jorma Kaukonen is an original member of Jefferson Airplane and Hot Tuna. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the the special concert presented by Jorma, a member of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Jorma resides in Pomeroy, Ohio, at the Fur Peace Ranch, where he offers concerts and guitar fantasy camps. (Jorma and his staff are doing some special programs to help returning Iraq/Afghanistan vets.)

Dr. Roach has touched so many lives and it was only fitting that his colleagues and staff honor him with an unforgettable party and concert.
