Tues. 1981
Gregory 22 years old. Farin Rogers was killed at the mines this morning, cut in two pieces. Breaks our hearts. Millard & I went to Big Stone to pick up my ring I had ordered, then went to Pennington for our flu shots and went by Roger's house to see Ramona and the kids. To Missionary Society tonite.
Footnote: Happy Birthday to Gregory Dewayne Jetton. He is the only grandson she has. He lives in the Hobbs, New Mexico area and sees his Mother, Rosemary and his Dad, Carey Drew often. I remember hearing about the mining tragedy but I didn't know the Rogers man. Not sure where he lived and how she knew him. Maybe he went to church with them. Millard is her husband and Big Stone Gap is about 9 miles to the Northeast. Pennington is a town about 7 miles to the West of her house. Missionary Society is an organization of the church that supports the missions serving around the world.
Cold and rainy here so I am staying in and just being lazy today - still very tired and legs and feet are sore from 12 hours of standing on the cold, hard concrete of the street. I will get over it in time for the next show, I hope.
