Sheep Dip Memories

Roger(s) Riffle was a hero of mine throughout our long association with the Sheep Dip Show and beyond.  He was also my co-litanist and co-originagtor of the Doctors' Chant.  But I didn't know 'til now that we was a real hero during Viet Nam and after.  Typically, he didn't speak of that.  

The sad truth is:  Sheep Dip never be the same without Roger Riffle.  From his masterful impersonation of Dip Nac the Magnificent to countless other roles on and off stage, he was the essential Dipper.  No one can take his place.  

An untimely hospitalization will forego my attending Roger's Friday service.  However for as long as I am around, I shall cherish his memory and his friendship.  His like will never come again.  

So long, old pal and se habla crowbar.  

Bob Chez, D.S.D.
