roger: jamestown, new york. i grew up in washington d.c. though. david: what did your parents do?oger: my mother was a nurse. my father was a politician. david: he was a congressman who was appointed by nelson rockefeller to succeed the assassinated robert f. kennedy and he became a senator. is that right? roger: that's correct, 1968. david: your family moved to washington? roger: no, we moved there in 1959 when i was born so he could serve in congress. david: people may not remember this, but your father was very famous because he was appointed as a moderate republican and then he opposed the war in vietnam under richard nixon. that became very difficult for him politically because many republicans at that time wanted to support richard nixon and didn't feel that a republican who opposed the vietnam war was a good republican. was that difficult for you? were you proud of what your father had done at the time? many people who were younger were against the vietnam war. roger: i couldn't be prouder of my father and the courage it took for him to do something that he knew was the rig
