Rogan's Recollections

(And Occasional Historical Observations)

Happy New Year 2026!

 

 

If any of you ever wondered what it is like being married to my wonderful wife, Christine Apffel Rogan, as Thomas Jefferson wrote in the Declaration of Independence, "Let facts be submitted to a candid world."

 

Going through some of her old memorabilia, I found this treasure that dates back 65 years ago--it is a note that Christine (age 7) left for her mother one night before bedtime while her grandparents babysat her and her three younger siblings (Caron, Ed, and Eric).

 

How do you spell S-N-I-T-C-H? It's a darn good thing that she didn't pull this stuff on the Hell's Angels....

 

Luckily for us boys, the "pillows in the pants" phenomenon never caught on.

 

Happy New Year from all the Rogans!
