Roger Sorrells (1936 -2011) Roger was sketched by his daughter Alexandra in two of his preferred activities, walking and reading, as she looks on from a small self-portrait. Roger took Alexandra to the library weekly to check out books for bedtime reading because he did not like to read the same books over and over. A drunk driver killed Alexandra in 1982 when she was 20. Roger and Gloriana St. Clair came together at Texas A&M in 1984. They subsequently travelled extensively in projects related to digital libraries in general, and Carnegie Mellon’s Million Book Project in particular. With Gloriana, Roger was a founding member of the Highlands Circle donor society. Roger died on September 2, 2011, from Advance Stage Parkinson’s disease. In spring 2012, Carnegie Mellon University renamed the Engineering & Science Library as the Roger Sorrells Engineering & Science Library with an endowment from Gloriana. o Roger’s personal library included books on computer science, mathematics, physics, nature, biographies of scientists, history and Shakespeare. One of his favorite novels was J. M. Coetzee’s Slow Man.
