So sorry to hear that Mr. Roberts has passed. I worked with Mr. Roberts for over a decade and he taught me so much - lessons that have helped me throughout my career. He was at the helm of the Carolina Utility Customers Association at its inception in 1983 and was a great leader of this organization. With heartfelt sympathy, Sharon Miller and members of CUCA
