Charles E. Roemer, II
Charles Elson Roemer, II, also known as Budgie Roemer or Charlie Roemer (December 11, 1923 - July 7, 2012), was a farmer and businessman from Bossier City in northwestern Louisiana, who served as the commissioner of administration from 1972 to 1980 in the first two terms of Governor Edwin Washington Edwards. He was the father of Charles Elson "Buddy" Roemer, III, who served as governor from 1988 to 1992, between the third and fourth Edwards terms.
==Background==
Roemer was a son of Charles Elson Roemer, I, known as Pete Roemer, and the former Maggie Crocker. After his father's death, he was reared on a farm by his stepfather and mother, Vernon and Maggie Mayer. During World War II, he volunterred for the United States Army Air Corps, forerunner of the United States Air Force. Thereafter, he attended Louisiana Tech University in Ruston and then graduated Phi Beta Kappa from Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge. While attending LSU, he worked as a welder at the nearby Exxon refinery. He married his high school sweetheart, the former Adeline McDade, who survives him after seventy years of marriage.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Charles E. Roemer, II obituary )〕
Charles and Adeline Roemers, who worked as a team on the farm, introduced in conjunction with the LSU Red River Valley Experiment Station, Stardel cotton at their Scopena Plantation in Bossier Parish, located south of Bossier City. They cultivated hybrid seed corn, owned an International Harvester equipment dealership, and owned and operated two cotton gins. In addition to cotton and corn, Roemer grew soybeans, sunflowers, tomatoes, geese, and cattle. The Roemers owned a dozen airplanes, most used for crop dusting, and Roemer was himself a licensed pilot. The Roemers worked to organize Rural Electrification Administration cooperatives in both Louisiana and Texas.〔〔
Jack Dillard, a long-term Shreveport farm reporter, described Roemer as a personal mentor who taught him much about agriculture: "Mr. Roemer invited me to state and national agriculture sessions and meetings where we had front-row seats. I knew very little about the cotton business but learned a lot from him. He could go to Baton Rouge and back faster than anyone I know. He talked as we traveled and introduced me to the leadership at that time. The National Cotton Council was as close as the phone. His love for Scopena Plantation and Stardel Cotton was always in his thoughts. When he shifted into politics, our travels slowed; but he always had time to talk or give a tip on upcoming activities."〔(【引用サイトリンク】title="Jack Dillard: Charles Roemer, II was a mentor", July 14, 2012 )〕
