The photo is a private glimpse of the serious-minded, erudite, and dedicated musician, Roger McKinney. It was my good fortune to have him as an instruc- tor in Music History for several semes- ters. I had the honor of playing under his baton in Woodwind Quintet, Octet, and he handed me my music performance degree. Seeing this photo of him gave me the opportunity to recall just how much of an impact this man has had on my life, even now. Thank you, Mr. McKinney, for making me listen; my life has more beauty in it because of you. MICHAEL REYNOLDS FORMAN '05 Professor McKinney was the reason I decided to attend TCNJ. He taught both my high school clarinet teacher and her father. I was so honored to also be a clarinet student of his. He is truly one of a kind, and I'm so lucky to know him. MICHELLE CARRAJAT LITTWIN '17 Imagine my shock to see my clarinet professor, Roger McKinney, as the mystery photo! For four years, I entered his office in Bray Hall for my weekly lesson. Professor McKinney was an old-school teacher who had high expec- tations for his clarinet students. DAVID MARTYNUIK '92 LONGTIME FRIENDS Michael '03 and Sarah Leib '03, Brett '03 and Kristen Peterson '03, Michael DiBernard '03 and his wife, Karaline, and Adam '03 and Jessica Stazo '04 went to St. John for a week in July 2021 to celebrate all turning 40.
