Don & Lore Rogers

Lore and Don Rogers joined us for lunch tody and filled us with their memories.
The Rodgers stoppped in this morning on their way to a family reunion. Don & Lore always regale us with stories of meeting people, projects they've worked on and what's happening with Dr. Ron Paul. They gave us a bag of papers from Donzella Cross Boyle, author of Quest of a Hemisphere, a history book I read at age 10. The papers are from Mrs. Boyle's notes and rough draft when she was writing her book. The Rodgers rescued many boxes of her work after she died, when a trash man was called to pick up all of the papers in her garage.
Don & Lore 66 years ago, on their honeymoon, July 1942. They were riding his motor bike to California to meet Don's parents, and broke down outside Steam Boat Springs, Colorado. Don was 19, Lore, 22. "She was my legal guardian for two years." He said.
