Patriarch


Patriarch

This is my grandfather Henry Geer Rogers, who died in 1973 at the age of 97. Members of my generation act as though he died last year but everyone else in the family barely remembers him (if at all). He was a kindly man, unless you disappointed him or made him angry. Then--not so nice. Ken likes to say about him, "He had the smallest hands of anyone I've ever seen." People in the town of AuSable Forks really respected him a whole lot and those who remember him do so fondly.
