August 1952 - July 1972

My bother Rod was a great guy with a witty sense of humor. He left us in July of 1972 while racing motocross.

It is hard to believe that is over 37 years ago ...

Rod was in my art class @ Grove...

Very good artist -
and ya know what ?
If Rod had been around today he would do fantastic
as a stand-up comedian !

Seriously, Rod would say something with a straight face
and have the whole class laughing...
unfortunately, Mr. Nelson semmed to always be disciplining Rod !

Let me change that.....Rod was a darn good artist !


I'm glad to have known him.
