Stephanie Kay Gallaway, whom he wanted to have a name all her own is 23, John Roger Gallaway, who shares names from both his father and grandfather, is 21 and Rachael Marie Gallaway whose name was nearly given to sister Stephanie, shares a near constant middle name with other women in the Gallaway family. Rachael is 6. Marshal Steininger, 21 has lived with Roger since his senior year of high school. Steininger is the friend of his son, John, whom Gallaway met while coaching football. He came to live with the Gallaways during his senior year in high school after speaking with his mother and feeling like Sidney was the best place for him to finish school. Roger welcomed him into his home, "as the 6'7" son I never had." Steininger recently took a job in Sidney as well and makes his home here.

Roger is engaged to Wendy Evertson of Chadron, who also has two children, Jacob, 13 and Julie, 10.  The couple and children will continue to live here in Sidney once they are married.


"I have been promoting Sidney to others ever since I moved here in 1992. I realized early on that I really enjoyed being able to call Sidney home."
