Roger Bourke White [SEP] residence
Roger Bourke White
Roger Bourke White (1911–2002), a Cleveland businessman, co-founded Glastic Corporation with Richard C. "Dick" Newpher. Glastic, located in South Euclid, Ohio, was one of the first makers of fiberglass insulators for the electrical industry, and now makes fiber optic cable. 
Roger's work was part of Cleveland's post-war boom that swelled the city to 7th largest in the nation in the 1950s—just behind Detroit. It also diversified the manufacturing base of the Northeast Ohio area
, so that when Ohio's Steel Belt turned into the Rust Belt in the late 70s and early 80s, companies that Roger had founded and worked with cushioned the crunch and contributed to the area's reinvention as a diversified manufacturing area.
Roger was born in 1911 in Boundbrook, NJ to Joseph and Minnie White. He had two older sisters, Margaret Bourke-White and Ruth. Margaret Bourke-White is generally considered one of the great photojournalists of the 20th century.
Roger graduated from MIT in 1934.
