Rogers Family, You are in my thoughts and prayers. I remember going for a visit with my dad (Walter) and whole family around 1987 or 88. I had a car accident and had to drop out of art school a few months before and Uncle Jim told me about bone meal and bee pollen! It was so cool how he knew a lot about natural health. That is a passion my dad has as well. I always enjoyed Uncle Jim's and Aunt Betty's energy. I only wish we had gathered to see the Rogers side more often. God bless you all.
