  9. Here are the rest of my ducks. I had them displayed with them in a line to land on the plate, hoping to do again when I get settled. Screenshot_20190323-122454_Gallery.jpg Screenshot_20190323-122439_Gallery.jpg Screenshot_20190323-122422_Gallery.jpg

    I dated Roger and Gwen's daughter, Darby, for over two years while in high school, and played soccer with their oldest son Garrett. I loved Roger, and his family! He is part of some of the best memories of my youth and one of the greatest men that I knew. I went with him and helped, a little, with a few of the art shows in St. George and Park City. I also had him as a ceramics teacher for three different classes that he taught at Utah Valley State College (now, Utah Valley University). He was a good friend to me. I always thought of him as a big child because he was so good-natured and seemed to take real joy in simple things. I respected him because he was a veteran of the Vietnam war, and he seemed to suffer from some PTSD. I never knew the details, but it seemed that he he had been through some terrible things due to the war. Anyway, I thought I would chime in and pay tribute to Roger. He was a great artist and a great man!

    For the record, he loved antiques! His house was filled with old treasures. I went on a road trip with Roger and his family to the Oregon coast and we stopped at several antique shops along the way ;)

    Welcome to the Forum, Matt! :)
    Thank you for an insiders perspective of the artist. Perhaps ceramics was a calming hobby and hopefully eased his mind. You speak with such respect, I’m sure it will give the owners of his art more appreciation of their pieces! :)

    Hello. I am looking for purchase some pieces by Roger Davis.

    I grew up seeing his pottery at Art in the Park in Boulder City, NV. My father always looked forward to seeing the Aviator Duck’s and their antics! As an Aur Traffic controller he enjoyed the humor in the crash landing the ducks!

    Does anyone know of any pieces for sale?
